* The planned Kojima vs. Iizuka and Tenzan vs. Yano singles matches were scrapped after yesterday’s DQs in both Tenzan vs. Iizuka and Kojima vs. Yano, and a preview of Sunday’s IWGP Tag Team Title decision match was set with TenKoji against Iizuka & Yano. And surprisingly, even without the four referees the title match will have, this had some sort of conclusive finish with Iizuka forcing a referee stop victory over Kojima!
