Nakamura retained in his V6 defense of the IWGP Heavyweight Titlle over former RISE cohort and two-in-a-row New Japan Cup winner, Hirooki Goto, in what was said to be a very hot main event. After the match, Nakamura’s old rival Makabe, who Nakamura defeated to win the vacant title last year, intruded and challenged Nakamura to a match. Nakamura seemed to accept and that looks set to happen in Fukuoka next month.

Marufuji defeated Liger to retain his IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title in another good match. Marufuji’s victory meant that he has now beaten Tiger Mask, Kanemoto, and Liger, establishing himself as the top junior in Japan right now. Marufuji provoked Taguchi after the match and that looks set to be a pre-BOSJ V4 defense for the champion.

After the fifth match, Yano and Iizuka beat down CHAOS comrade Anderson and to the shock of many NO LIMIT joined in. Aogi-gun’s Nagata, Inoue, and Hirasawa ran in to save the “Machine Gun” and declared war on NO LIMIT. It wasn’t said in the official report if NO LIMIT are joining CHAOS or if this is just another example of them appearing to hate everyone.

CHAOS were seconded by TAJIRI’s student KUSHIDA in the third match, after recent talk he could enter NJ. And he will (more below).

King Fale debuted and showed his impressive size and strength against Nakanishi, receiving big support from the fans. Fale towered over Nakanishi and despite being a rookie, is one to watch.
