Thank goodness for valets! Miho Abe accompanied Taichi, the Holy Emperor, to the ring after taking a knee to him. She’s so pretty that no matter what she does to help Taichi cheat, she’s the best part of the flamboyant man’s entrance.

Goto wasted no time taking Taichi to his knees and backing him into the ropes. Once the hold was broken, he shoved the referee which opened him to a strong assault from Goto.

Goto threw Taichi out of the ring and into the blue barricade, and Taichi pushed Abe between himself as Goto as a distraction. It didn’t work for long, and Goto found the outside turnbuckle with his face.

Goto barely beat the 20-count, only to be met by Taichi. Taichi cornered Goto before throwing him around and digging his fingers into Goto’s face. The referee separated the men, and once Goto was on his feet, he and Taichi traded kicks.

Goto’s lariat stopped Taichi’s rope-driven momentum, and both men were still standing afterward. Taichi’s stunning kicks continued to wear Goto down. Still, Goto blocked one kick with his head and rallied!

Goto tried for his finisher but Taichi pushed Goto into the ref. While the ref was down, Taichi brought out his mic stand to cheat, but Goto was nearly ready. He attempted the GTR, but Taichi rolled him up the moment the referee was back in the match.

Results: Taichi (4) def. Hirooki Goto (2) via pinfall
