Main Event: Champions Carnival Block A: Satoshi Kojima beat Kento Miyahara.
With one match left, Block A has Miyahara, Ishikawa & T-Hawk tied for the lead at 4-2, 8 points. With their head-to-head match remaining, the Miyahara-T-Hawk winner, if there is one, is assured of at least a tie for the top spot. Mathematically Honda still has a chance with 8 points but he’ll need Miyahara-T-Hawk to be a no contest or Double DQ. In Block B, 4 are tied at 4-2, 8 points with 3 at 3-3, 6 points. Only the winner of each block advances to the Finals.
The next event is Sunday at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka. Live streaming on AJPW.TV will begin at 1 AM PT/4 AM ET.
