The top 2 advance to the Finals. At this point Just 2 Jobbers have been mathematically eliminated because the only way they could advance is if the possible tie for 2nd was between only them and Yoh/MUSASHI. It’s not so there is no way they can move on. But it will be definite when/if Connors/Moloney or Kanemaru/Sho get one more point or they lose/draw again.
The next event is tomorrow at Toyama Techno Hall West Building in Toyama. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin at 2:30 AM PT/5:30 AM ET.
