Main Event: Robbie X & Taiji Ishimori beat KUUKAI & El Desperado. X pinned KUUKAI after X Express.

Standings (Block B):

5-Togo/Kanemaru, 1-3, 2 pts (OUT)
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.

News: CIMA Possibly Leaving GLEAT Soon

GLEAT posted a news item today regarding the future of CIMA, who helped start the promotion after leaving Dragon Gate.

They may continue discussions on an extension unless CIMA is absent due to particular circumstances such as injury.
