* “Mr. Anti-Aging” Yuji Nagata celebrated his 44th birthday before the show, receiving a birthday cake from young lions Hiromu Takahashi and Takaaki Watanabe. Watanabe started acting suspiciously so Nagata splatted the cake in his face! Nagata is called “Mr. Anti-Aging” as no matter how old he gets, he doesn’t seem to look older and remains as athletic as ever in the ring.
