Naito’s inability to grab early points in the tournament has surprised the audience, who were behind him tonight. Goto still got the early upper hand over Naito by attacking him before the bell.

The men traded strikes in the corner until Naito gained a small strength advantage. He attacked Goto’s possibly injured knee relentlessly, relying on painful rest holds and sliding dropkicks. Goto rallied after a series of kicks to the head by Naito.

A suplex put Naito down for a 2-count only, and he fought back with a neck breaker and a dropkick to the back of Goto’s head. They traded finisher attempts, and Naito reversed Goto’s most successful ones with DDTs.

Naito attempted to pin Goto and failed, but it gave him room to complete his Destino finisher and win his first two Tournament points.

Results: Tetsuya Naito (2) def. Hirooki Goto (2)
