When The 37KAMIINA won in the main event, Yuki Ueno called for the fans to keep supporting them. Both he and MAO will be in title matches at Sumo Hall on 12th November while Toy Kojima is still doing his best. Ueno said the next time the group is in Niigata they will consist of two champions, one guy who works hard and also Shunma Katsumata who will likely be back from injury by that point. He also said backstage he is feeling a little lonely without having Chris Brookes to wrestle with. Meanwhile MAO talked about not getting to see Matt Cardona until November. All he can do at the moment is troll him on Twitter.
In the birthplace of Giant Baba the All Asia Tag Team Titles were defended in a DDT Vs All Japan match. Jun Akiyama & Kotaro Suzuki successfully defended the titles against Takao Omori & Yoshitatsu thanks to Akiyama pinning Omori. Afterwards Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani from Eruption entered the ring and challenged the champions. Sakaguchi pointed out that his father Seiji Sakaguchi once held those belts so the story of his son fighting for them is enough drama to make the match happen. Akiyama accepted the challenge for that reason, telling Okatani the story has nothing to do with him. The PWF committee later granted their approval for the title shot to take place on 3rd November.
DDT advertised that something was being planned for the show by Kazuki Hirata, Super Sadadango Machine and Danshoku Dieno. It turned out to be a 3 Way Match but it began with Dieno feeling depressed over Pheromones disbanded. Hirata also admitted to being in a bad mood because he thinks he isn’t getting a good enough salary for the amount of work he’s been doing lately. Sasadango wanted the match to be good because it is in his home region so he came up with suggestions to motivate his opponents. Soon other wrestlers entered the ring having their own reasons for wanting to take part in the match. Rukiya, Makoto Oishi, DJ Nira, Yoshihiko and Sanshiro Takagi all interfered. Sasadango was targeted for his mask but just when he was about to have it pulled off his face, the mayor of Sanjo City Ryo Takizawa walked out demanding everyone to stop! He told everyone that Sanjo’s reputation is now at stake and it could cost him his job! Sasadango and Takizawa then teamed up an cleared house, leading Sasadango to pin Dieno after a Double Russian Leg Sweep. Afterwards Sasadango shook the mayor’s hand until all of a sudden he gave him a Headbutt! Sasadango then challenged the mayor to a wrestling match, declaring that as of today the friendship between Niigata and Sanjo City is over!
