Sanada defeats Tetsuya Naito: October 1st G1 Climax 30 Night 8

Result: Sanada defeats Tetsuya Naito

Match:

• At 23 minutes, Sanada had Naito in Skull End. When Naito became unresponsive, Sanada let go and climbed for his moonsault. Per usual, Naito moved out of the way leaving Sanada to crash and burn.
• Naito hit a somewhat sloppy Destino a few moments later, but Sanada kicked out of the pinfall attempt. Naito went for Destino again, but Sanada evaded.
• When Naito went for some sort of slam, Sanada slipped out and hit a modified version of the destino. Sanada followed up with two moonsaults to get the pinfall victory.
