The semifinal line-up is settled after night 10 of the New Japan Cup took place earlier on Sunday.
Yota Tsuji and EVIL both advanced, and will face each other on Monday. The winner of that match will face whoever prevails between Hirooki Goto and SANADA, with the finals taking place on Wednesday, March 20th.
Tsuji defeated Ren Narita, despite interference from House of Torture. Members of Los Ingobernables de Japon came out to help, allowing Tsuji to grab the quick pin.
