- Junior League Opening Night

The Road to Ryogoku kicks off with the Junior League to pick Kaz’s next challenger, another Suwama/Takayama confrontation after Suwama pinned the Champ, and an unfortunate retirement for the misused Nobutaka Araya in his final show. On the day of the show, Araya’s retirement opened but Samurai changed the match position to make it the airing’s main event without changing the match graphics which stay 1 match ahead (first match on the taping is the actual second match, etc) until the main. Parentheses denote this. 1 (2). Voodoo Murders (TARU, Toshizo, & Hate) vs. Ryota Hama, Osamu Nishimura, & Hiroshi Yamato 2 (3). B Block: Petey Williams vs. MAZADA 3 (4).
