Pro Wrestling NOAH’s N-1 Victory Tournament resumed on Sunday as the tour begins to wind down.
Multiple scenarios are at play coming off Sunday’s show in the A & B Blocks with two more round-robin matches scheduled for each participant before the finals on September 3.
The main event on Sunday in Sapporo featured a 30-minute draw between Jake Lee and Jack Morris in the A Block and both escaped with one point. It allows Lee to hold a point lead in the block ahead of Masa Kitamiya, who didn’t have a tournament match on Sunday. Yuki Yoshioka, Kenoh, and Jack Morris are still alive in the block.
