Main Event: Konosuke Takeshita beat Shingo Takagi by ref stoppage (technical submission).
Drilla Moloney beat Gabriel Kidd by forfeit. Kidd is now out of the tournament.
Standings-wise at the halfway point, YOSHI-HASHI & Narita now lead at 4-1, 8 points, with Takeshita 3rd at 3-1, 6 points. Because he was the only one to face-and beat-Kidd before his injury, Takeshita has the advantage of one extra match left. The top 3 will advance.
The next event is tomorrow at Port Messe Nagoya Exhibition Hall 1 in Nagoya with Block A. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin at 1 AM PT/4 AM ET.
