1. 3 Way Match: Tetsuya Endo and Akito defeated Hideki Okatani with a Double Rope Assisted School Boy (8:06).
2. Yuji Hino & Mad Paulie defeated Yukio Naya & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Paulie pinned Matsunaga with the Reverse Splash (10:05).
3. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari defeated Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Ueno & Kazuki Hirata when Imanari pinned Hirata with the SEX Tape Press (10:57).
4. Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Mizuki Watase defeated Yukio Sakaguchi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuya Koroku when Watase pinned Koroku with the Back Drop (13:46).
5. Special Tag Match: Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao when Urano pinned Takao with the Modern Times (19:50).
6. Yokohama Specialty Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Keigo Nakamura when HARASHIMA pinned Nakamura with the Somato (16:45).

Konosuke Takeshita was almost able to put Chris Brookes in the Plus Ultra but HARASHIMA quickly broke the hold. Brookes later held Takeshita in the Octopus Hold outside the ring while HARASHIMA pinned Keigo Nakamura. Takeshita was ultimately able to escape from the move but it was too late to make the save. After the match Brookes told Takeshita their match today did not involved The 37KAMIINA. Just like how they won’t be there on 26th September when Brookes wins the KO-D Openweight Title! The info Brookes is learning from these matches makes him confident he will win.

With Minoru Fujita still in quarantine he was absent from today’s show. Daisuke Sasaki had to change his focus to Takumi Tsukamoto instead. Yasu Urano wanted to use the SAYONARA on Soma Takao as a shout out to Fujita but Sasaki stopped him. Sasaki got rid of Tsukamoto and left the match up to Takao. However during the scramble of cradle moves, Urano caught Takao in the Modern Times to get the three count. Sasaki was hoping to study Fujita so much that he could write a book about him but now he has nothing to prepare for.

The growing power of Pheromones was on display among other things with their new member Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari. He won their tag match with the SEX Tape Press, which is a Lou Thesz Press. After the match Pheromones asked Hisaya Imabayashi to put them in the upcoming match on 3rd November to determine the new KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions. Imabayashi rejected them because they have no achievements as a team. Danshoku Dieno said his team do have achievements… of the XXX variety! Yuki Iino pulled down his tights and Pheromones then started harassing Imabayashi until he finally accepted their request.

The opening 3 Way Match saw Tetsuya Endo and Akito come up with the same idea. They both dodged a charging Hideki Okatani and together used a School Boy for the pin. They even placed their feet on the ropes at the same time. Yukinori Matsui didn’t see the cheating but did recognise the two of them both got the pin. So he decided both of them were the winners.

A new rookie is debuting at Korakuen Hall on 12th October! Yuki Ishida was part of the Nihon University Sumo Club, the sumo team that has won the National Student Sumo Championship the most times in history! It is only fitting that his opponent for his debut match is Kazusada Higuchi.
