Naito’s oxblood cape and cream-suit made a subtle yet powerful statement. Yano, his bright haori jacket, and his bright red steel chair left a very different impression. Red Shoes Unno stood tall as the referee, and Yano complained relentlessly until the bell rang.

Then he complained relentlessly after the bell rang. He attempted to take off the turnbuckle cover and took a harsh bump for it. Everything about this match was centred around taunting each other and baring the turnbuckles. Naito was more effective at both but had to kick out of two pinfalls. Then Yano became silly and sly, his most dangerous form.

Yano tugged Unno and Naito’s shirts over their faces, delivered a low blow to Naito, and rolled him up for a surprise victory. Afterwards, Naito confronted Unno who stood his ground as always.

Result: Toru Yano def. Tetsuya Naito via pinfall
