Today was the official start of the Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series, a collection of farewell shows held by many different wrestling promotions before the famed Shinjuku FACE shuts down at the end of the month. Sendai Girls ran the first show of the series earlier today and BASARA was next on the schedule. The venue hosted BASARA’s debut show back in 2016. Ryota Nakatsu was in the very first BASARA match back then and he got to be in the final BASARA match to be held here today. Unfortunately for him he wasn’t able to beat Takumi Tsukamoto for the Union MAX Title. After the match Tsukamoto gathered the locker room together so they could all thank Shinjuku FACE and say their goodbyes to the venue.
The dominant run of Aijin Tag continues as they have now reached their 6th defence of the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. With Death Volleyball Club taken care of, they now look forward to facing their next challenge. BASARA announced during the show that the IRON FIST Tag Tournament will be returning this year and Aijin Tag plan to enter it with the intention of becoming back to back champions. Then they can nominate their next challengers afterward. One of the possible teams entering the tournament was set up after the show. Ryota Nakatsu was approached by Shota Nakagawa to team up together for the tournament.
This was Gouma Ryu’s final appearance in Shinjuku FACE and he wanted to play a bigger part in it. He bribed the referee with 30,000 yen to allow him to stay in the ring for Match #2 and get directly involved even though he was only supposed to support his team at ringside. That idea ultimately backfired when he tried to hit Yasu Urano with his law book and knocked out Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with it instead by accident.
