Aguayo took the first fall, dropping a diving senton on fellow junior veteran, Hamada. Hamada got one back for his team, pinning Casas after the Hama-Chan Cutter. Finally, Otani struck Wagner with a swan dive kneel kick to secure the win for Aguayo's team.

(3/6) In a big tag main event to close the series, Chono & Tenzan overcame the strong duo of Kensuke & Iizuka when Chono used his patented Butterfly Lock on Iizuka for the win.
