Below are the contest standings after night 9 headlined by Kazuchika Okada vs. Will Ospreay. Today saw some more eliminations from the G1 in the B Block. Great O-Khan, with only two points, can score a maximum of six and is already surpassed by both Okada and Ospreay. YOSHI-HASHI could theoretically tie Okada and Ospreay at 8 points but since he has already lost to both he is eliminated from advancement. With his win over Ren Narita, SANADA is undefeated at 10 points and has clinched a berth in the single elimination round of the G1. In the listener contest, Jeremy Finestone widened his first place lead to four points today but there are still many matches to go so nothing is certain yet. In the POST Wrestling block, John Kleinchester guessed an impressive 7 correct today to unseat Low Down Davie P in the #1 spot. Nobody predicted the draw between Kidd and Kiyomiya so there were no perfectly-predicted cards today.
