IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title – 3 Way Match: Prince Devitt (c) defeated Agent 47 Low Ki and Kota Ibushi when Devitt pinned Ibushi with the Avalanche Bloody Sunday (14:45).
*V1 for Prince Devitt.
Kota Ibushi’s quest to regain the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship ended in failure over at the Tokyo Dome. Ibushi competed against the champion Prince Devitt and Low Ki in a rare 3 Way Match at New Japan’s annual 4th January Tokyo Dome event. Highlights include Low Ki wrestling the entire match dressed as Agent 47 from the Hitman video game series (the latest game will be released in Japan later this month) and acting just as vicious as that character, Devitt Double Stomping everyone, Ibushi flying around the ring as only he can and lightning quick action involving from all three wrestlers. Despite being able to get rid of Low Ki during a high risk moment on the turnbuckles, Ibushi was grabbed by Devitt and slammed to the canvas with the Avalanche Bloody Sunday where Devitt would then get the pinfall.
During the post-match interview, Ibushi told reporters that wrestling in a 3 Way match was harder than he thought it would be. It was different and he came in with the wrong strategy. He was also frustrated he didn’t win back the IWGP Jr. Title. However, he wants to continue fighting for the belt as much as he can and wrestle in Tokyo Dome again. He also said he wouldn’t lose a Falls Count Anywhere match against the others.
