Yoshiki Inamura retained the GHC heavyweight championship in the main event of NOAH’s Legacy Rise event and called out his next challenger.
The main event at Korakuen Hall featured the fourth title defense by Inamura, as he defeated Takashi Sugiura after overcoming the numbers disadvantage from Team 2000X.
The heel stable wheeled out a shark cage and attempted to trap the champion inside when Kenoh left the broadcast desk and saved Inamura. Kenoh proceeded to lock OZAWA and Yoshitatsu in the cage and wheeled them to the back.
The match picked up significantly from that point, with each doing a one-count kick out and Inamura building momentum with the audience.
As a tribute to the visiting Shinjiro Otani, Inamura hit a spinning powerbomb and finished Sugiura with the Discharge.
Inamura called out Kenoh for his next challenge after the latter was repeatedly leapfrogged by Masa Kitamiya and Sugiura.
In the GHC tag title match, Tetsuya Naito & BUSHI made their first defense, beating KENTA & BUSHI and solidifying their new group.
The audience seemed invested in KENTA and Naito starting off the match. Naito wrestled at his usual standard these days, and there was one noticeable slip on the rope when he attempted a Tornado DDT to KENTA and had to make a second attempt.
HAYATA ducked BUSHI’s mist and landed the 403 Impact (implant DDT) and had it won when Naito yanked the referee to the floor.
Ángel Reyes interfered on behalf of the champions and nearly took a nasty spill while executing a tope con giro without a lot of room to land it.
BUSHI hit the MX and pinned HAYATA.
Tetsuya Naito and BUSHI were joined by Reyes and RYUSEI as the four members of Los Tranquilos de Japón, and they did their fist bump together.
Manabu Soya showed up by himself to issue a challenge for the GHC tag titles, but didn’t mention who he would team with.
