                    • El Desperado attacked Shingo Takagi as he was leaving. Desperado left with the NEVER Championship. I guess Despy will be Shingo’s next opponent.

                    • Around 20 minutes into the match, Evil dropped Naito knee first off the ring apron through a table. He then wrapped Naito’s leg in a chair, but Red Shoes prevented Evil from attacking him with a second chair.

                    • After Evil connected with a low blow, someone came to the ring dressed as Bushi and choked out Naito. While fake Bushi distracted the referee, Evil hit another low blow.
