The Death Rider nodded in time with Yano’s entrance, which is undoubtedly a bop! Moxley and Yano were an interesting pairing that put both of their acting skills on display.

Yano attempted to surprise Moxley with cheating and a DVD offer with 10,000 JPY inside, but Mox refused to give Yano any quarter by smacking the offer out of his hand.

Cash flew around them and Mox took the fight outside of the ring. Yano attempted to cheat once more with a roll of tape, but Moxley taped Yano to the blue barricade for a 16-count.

Both men stripped the ring posts of their pads and began to fence with them, and Yano attempted the first pinfall. Moxley gave himself some room to unfold a table with a Regal Knee.

Mox rolled Yano out of the ring and onto the table, but he used Umino as a distraction and taped the pair’s legs together. Umino and Moxley couldn’t make it back to the ring by the 20-count, and Yano gathered the money, DVD, and 2-point victory.

Moxley finally showed a little frustration with Shooter Umino, who has cost him the secure top spot in the G1 Final and remained the weak link in their tag matches, losing nearly everyone. Umino’s part in tonight’s loss opened the door for the next two men to challenge Moxley's dominance in the tournament so far.

Results: Toru Yano (6) def. Jon Moxley (10) via countout
