The top 2 in each block advance to the Semifinals. Bailey remains in control in Block A while 5 remain tied for 2nd. Taguchi is now officially eliminated while KUSHIDA is all but out of it and Sho & DOUKI must win out and get a lot of help to have a chance. Block B looks to be going down to the wire with 4 ties at the top and nobody out thanks to a flash win by BUSHI today in under 2 minutes. But BUSHI is still on life support with only a tiebreaker keeping him alive.
Day 7 is tomorrow at New Aomori Prefecture Sports Park Maeda Arena Sub Arena in Aomori. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin at 3 AM PT/6 AM ET.
