Today’s event was held at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka and will be available on demand on YouTube FOR FREE at a later date (TBA but based on past GLEAT events it probably would be in 1 week at the earliest).
The announced paid attendance was 502, a full house/near sellout. Vocal cheering was allowed, which is the first time GLEAT had such an event.
Match 1: Kaito Ishida won an 18 man G-Rumble battle royal, last eliminating Hayato Tamura. As a result, Ishida would face G-REX Champion El Lindaman for the title in the main event.
Lidet UWF Bouts (combination of wrestling & MMA-no pinfalls, no closed-fist punches or strikes to the back of the head, win by submission, KO or TKO [lose 5 points via rope escape, beating 10 count down, or penalties for rule violation; Tag Team matches only have one person in the ring at all times):

Main Event: Kaito Ishida beat G-REX Champion El Lindaman to win the title. Ishida becomes the second G-REX Champion. Considering he was the first champion and had quite the record in defenses as this was the 8th for Lindaman, this qualifies as a definite upset.

New Japan has announced participation in 2 upcoming outside events: First, Shingo Takagi will appear in GLEAT, a newer promotion run by LIDET Entertainment that features both pro wrestling and a revival of the UWF (combination wrestling/shootfighting), as part of the CIMA 25th Anniversary match. That match will be Takagi & CIMA vs. Ryuichi Kawakami & Kazma Sakamoto. Since leaving Dragon Gate to help start GLEAT, CIMA has made occasional appearances in New Japan under the banner of his #STRONGHEARTS faction label, and this year made an incredible underdog run to the Semifinals of the New Japan Cup. The event will be held on 5/18 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, and given GLEAT streams most if not all their events this way it may be available for FREE on YouTube.
The second special event is on 5/31 at a Jumbo Tsuruta Memorial Event, in a match of Taichi & TAKA Michinoku vs. Yuji Nagata & All-Japan Pro Wrestling star Suwama. This event is to mark the 23rd Anniversary of the passing of Japanese wrestling legend Jumbo Tsuruta. Hall of Famer Stan Hansen, the first American to reach legend status in Japan, will be a special guest at the event. This event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.
