Kotaro Suzuki’s mystery partner was Salvaje de Oriente, who pinned Haoh to win the second match.

Kendo Kashin submitted Nioh to win the third match. Kazuyuki Fujita and Manabu Soya confronted each other afterwards, teasing a future singles bout between the two.

HAYATA and Yoshinari Ogawa defeated Atsushi Kotoge and Daisuke Harada to win the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships. Kotoge and Harada only managed one successful defense of the championships.

Suzuki came to the ring to formally challenge for the championships after the match. HAYATA accepted the challenge.

Kenoh made his second defense of the GHC National Championship after defeating Kaito Kiyomiya with a sleeper hold.

Kazushi Sakuraba submitted Naomichi Marufuji to retain the GHC Tag Team Championships. It was Sakuraba and Takashi Sugiura’s second defense of the championships.

Despite not competing on the show, Yuko Miyamoto accompanied his M’s Alliance partners Masakatsu Funaki and Marufuji. Masahiro Chono celebrated with Sakuraba and Sugiura after the match.

Go Shiozaki made his fifth defense of the GHC Heavyweight Championship against Katushiko Nakajima in the main event. The match lasted 42 minutes and 35 seconds.

Sakuraba and Sugiura came to the ring, which drew the ire of Kenoh (who had joined commentary for the main event and was tending to Nakajima after the match). Kenoh nominated Sakuraba as the next challenger for the GHC National Championship.

Sugiura then challenged Shiozaki for the GHC Heavyweight Championship. Shiozaki accepted.

Mark Pickering and Stewart Fulton provided live English commentary at the venue on FITE TV’s broadcast. It should be noted the English commentary team made multiple references to Keiji Mutoh challenging for the GHC Heavyweight Championship at a future date.

NOAH announced its December 1 and 6 shows will air live on ABEMA.
