Yuji Nagata followed up on his recent win over Masayuki Kono by completely defeating him on All Japan’s Sumo Hall show earlier in a Cage Death Match. A bloodied up Nagata knocked out Kono who has been feuding with Nagata over the honour of his mentor Masakatsu Funaki, who Nagata injured at the Tokyo Dome in January. It’s unknown if this ends the feud until Funaki returns or if perhaps Nagata might enter the Champion Carnival again. Kojima also appeared on the show in his old haunt, pinning Seiya Sanada.
