Night 5 and we moved away from the Korakuen hall as the show would take place in Hokkaido. The night featured the return of Kaito Kiyomiya to NOAH after competing in NJPW’s G1 Climax 33 torunament. He would team up with HAYATA and Eita to defeat the team of Yoshinari Ogawa, LEONA & Stallion Rogers.
In the Main event, it was a high stakes encounter as the leaders of the A block where set to face off. It was the GHC Heavyweight Champion and the only still undefeated wrestler in the tournament Jake Lee go up against Masa Kitamiya. Kitamiya has had one extra match in the blocks so despite having a loss he is tied on points. This was a hard hitting affair with neither giving an inch in the end, they could not be a winner so it ended in a time limit draw.
