Fale rolled SANADA out of the ring and strangled him with the announcers' microphone cords until the ref had to step in.

Fale came back in at the last minute to put in a pinfall. He didn't succeed, even after a Grenade slam move. SANADA wiggled out of Fale's Bad Luck Fall finisher to bodyslam the massive Fale.

SANADA locked Fale into a hold and submitted him, but Bullet Club pulled the ref out of the ring. SANADA prevailed by bending Owens and Jado into paradise locks to keep them busy.
A moonsault from SANADA sadly didn't put him in a strong enough position to complete his Skull End finisher, but it did put him in position to be rolled up and lose his final G1 match.
