Main Event: Kosei Fujita & Robbie Eagles beat Jacob Austin Young & Francesco Akira. Fujita pinned Young after Thrill Ride.

Standings (Block B):
1-Hyo/Yoh, 3-1, 6 pts
2-Fujita/Eagles, 3-1, 6 pts
3-Johnson/Christian, 3-1, 6 pts
4-Young/Akira, 2-2, 4 pts (OUT)
5-Togo/Sho, 1-3, 2 pts (OUT)
6-Nagai/Titan, 0-4, 0 pts (OUT)
The winners advance to the Finals. Due to one of the last remaining matches being between co-leaders, it’s down to 3 (Akira/Young are OUT because of that) and may come down to tiebreakers. Here’s what can happen in the last matches: If Fujita/Eagles beat Yoh/Hyo, Fujita/Eagles advance. If Yoh/Hyo win, Johnson/Christian MUST LOSE OR DRAW (Akira/Young) for Yoh/Hyo to advance. If both win OR Eagles/Fujita-Yoh/Hyo is a draw AND Johnson/Christian win, Johnson/Christian advance. That is the only way Johnson/Christian can advance because they lost to Fujita/Eagles but beat Hyo/Yoh. If both matches somehow are draws, a 3-way tiebreaker match will probably be needed.

The next event is tomorrow at Nishiyama Park Gym in Kyoto with the last day of Block A. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin at midnight PT/3 AM ET.

6-YAMATO/TM 4, 0-4, 0 pts (OUT)
Only the winners advance to the Finals. The final outcome will be simple or complex. The simple-Eagles/Fujita advance if they win their last match or it’s a draw. The complex-if X/Ishimori win, they advance if KUSHIDA/Yoshioka also lose or draw. If both win, it’s complex because KUSHIDA/Yoshioka have the tiebreaker over X/Ishimori due to a forfeit but they lost to Eagles/Fujita while X/Ishimori will have beaten Eagles/Fujita but lost to KUSHIDA/Yoshioka…I think it would have to be a 3-way to settle it.

The next event is tomorrow at Fukui Industrial Hall Building 1 Exhibition Hall in Fukui to finish Block A. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin at 2:30 AM PT/5:30 AM ET.
