Tanahashi, Ibushi, Wato defeat Taichi, ZSJ, Kanemaru – 11:37

• Post Match Comments Translated by NJPWGlobal on Twitter:
  • EVIL: I knew it! LIJ are a collection of losers. So who represents justice now? Who’s real now? Who’s the strongest now? At Jingu, I’ll let you taste this same pain. Remember: Everything is EVIL! It’s reeal!
