Final Bout
VS.
Kento Miyahara got first taste of the renewed Go Shiozaki as the GAORA TV CHAMPION faced off with his Xceed partner the bout escalated as they brought out their bigger artilary against the other untill it got down to the wire and both men were desperate to land that final strike and score the One Two Three... It looked like Shiozaki might of had it with his Gowan Lariat but before the referee could finish the count the bell ring signalling that thirty minutes had expired and both men where eliminated.
Backstage Go was confident he had All Japans Ace beat and if they face off again he's 100% confident that he will leave the victor. MIyahara says that Shiozaki might have a chance but now it's gone as he will get stronger and not let Shiozaki gain the advantage.
