NJPW ROAD TO SAKURA GENESIS DAY TWO RESULTS, DDT UPDATES AND MORE FROM JAPAN

New Japan Pro Wrestling

New Japan Pro Wrestling held its second Road to Sakura Genesis tour show today in Korakuen Hall.

The full results were:

• BUSHI, SANADA, Shingo Takagi and Tetsuya Naito vs. Gabriel Kidd, Master Wato, Yota Tsuji and Yuya Uemura
• DOUKI, El Desperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru vs. Ryusuke Taguchi, SHO and Tiger Mask

• Great-O-Khan, Jeff Cobb and Will Ospreay vs. Kota Ibushi, Tomoaki Honma and Yuji Nagata

Junior heavyweight Taiji Ishimori secured a shock pinfall victory against heavyweight Hirooki Goto in the third match, possibly setting up a future NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championships challenge.

It is worth noting KENTA struck Goto with YOSHI-HASHI’s staff before Ishimori delivered the Bloody Cross and pinned Goto so it was not a clean victory. The titles are currently held by Goto, Tomohiro Ishii and YOSHI-HASHI.

New Japan will hold its third Road to Sakura Genesis tour show tomorrow in Korakuen Hall. The full card is:

• BUSHI, SANADA, Shingo Takagi and Tetsuya Naito vs. Gabriel Kidd, Tiger Mask, Yota Tsuji and Yuya Uemura
