Main Event: Rey De Parejas Block B: YAMATO & BxB Hulk beat Strong Machine J & Kzy. YAMATO pinned J after Omniscient & Omnipotent Frankensteiner. As a result, Kuroshio & Hyo win Block B and will advance to the Semifinals (the 2nd place team in each block also will advance). 2nd place will be determined over the remaining matchups-if YAMATO/Hulk win tomorrow (Mochizuki/Sahara) it will depend on if Skywalker/Homare beat Mochizuki/Sahara at a later date because Skywalker/Homare beat YAMATO/Hulk so they have the presumptive tiebreaker. YAMATO/Hulk would advance over J/Kzy. J/Kzy beat Skywalker/Homare. If YAMATO/Hulk lose, J/Kzy will advance on tiebreaker over Skywalker/Homare.Block A is unsettled because 2 teams have 2 matches left.
