10. IWGP Heavyweight Title: Hiroshi Tanahashi (c) beat Tetsuya Naito (29:19) with the High Fly Flow (8th defense).

* Tanahashi edges ever closer to Nagata’s defense record of ten by defeating G1 Climax runner-up Tetsuya Naito in a scintillating half hour main event at Sumo Hall. Naito continued to show he is now a threat to the upper echelon of New Japan but not quite there yet, pushing Tanahashi before succumbing to the High Fly Flow. Nagata himself appeared after the match and issued a challenge that Tanahashi seemed to accept before Yano appeared and hit Tana with a chair before running off with his belt.
* Minoru Suzuki downs Makabe with his patented Gotch-style piledriver and moves into contention for Tana’s IWGP Heavyweight Title. Suzuki’s sworn friend Yoshihiro Takayama showed up after the match and delivered an Everest German suplex to Makabe.
* Former ECW World Heavyweight Champion, Masato Tanaka, adds another international themed belt to his collection by defeating founding IWGP Intercontinental Champion, MVP, to become just the second holder of the recently established title in its history. Tanaka’s long-time rival Hirooki Goto issued a challenge after the match.
* Satoshi Kojima makes his formal return to New Japan as an affiliated wrestler for the first time in nearly a decade and avenges his G1 Climax loss to sworn friend and former tag partner Hiroyoshi Tenzan.
* Apollo 55′s record-breaking third reign as IWGP Jr. Tag Team Champions that lasted close to ten months finally comes to an end as gaijin tandem Davey Richards & Rocky Romero, who failed to lift the belts from Devitt & Taguchi back in May, become the 29th champions. Their win as well as Tanaka’s mean that CHAOS now have two IWGP belts in their custody after a recent title drought for the group. Tiger Mask & KUSHIDA challenged the new champions after the match while TAKA Michinoku wants a shot at Devitt’s IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title.
