At this point, anyone with 6 points has a chance at the spot against Okada in the G1 Climax Finale. A Naito victory would mean one more chance to take the top spot this year, and Robinson was already in the 6-point running, ready to eliminate the competition properly. Red Shoes Unno refereed.

Naito and Robinson always take their time stripping down for their matches, and the men used the display to taunt each other. Robinson had prepared a bit better, wearing three shirts to put Naito off his game.

The third shirt kept Robinson too busy to stop a strong kick from Naito as the bell rang. A few smacks showed Naito’s opening strategy but Robinson was ready for that too.

Robinson made enough space to get Naito out of the ring and did his own version of Naito’s Tranquilo taunt move. It was so fun, and the fight went outside of the ring.

Naito’s suplex didn’t quite connect but a dropkick did, leaving Robinson stunned against the blue barricades. He beat the 20-count at 11 and began to absorb Naito’s attacks, including the Combination Cabron, coming alive as Naito put him into a submission hold.

That got the crowd fired up and Naito focused on Robinson’s neck. The taunting between these men didn’t stop for a second, keeping the audience engaged during the breaks in fighting.

Robinson’s dominance was apparent as Naito lay on the mat holding his head, but Naito was able to deliver a few good hits before taking a full nelson. That wasn’t enough to keep Naito from focusing on Robinson’s neck. Robinson’s Juice Box finisher attempt was followed by a Rana from the second rope and a powerbomb.

Naito kicked out at the 2-count, but Robinson’s new tools still impressed. Robinson delivered more punishment, taking a DDT before eating Naito’s Destino finisher dramatically!

A second Destino was countered by Robinson’s Juice Box, opening Naito’s ear to stain the mat with blood. The crowd wanted both men to win, and the fighters came to their feet in response.

A traded set of attempts to pin each other ran into a wall as Naito’s Destino (and the announcer’s hilarious call for the move) kept Naito in the 6-point range. He pinned Robinson in short order.

Results: Tetsuya Naito (6) def. Juice Robinson (6) via pinfall
