Sugiura & Suzuki won the vacant tag titles on March 13th by defeating Kaito Kiyomiya & Daiki Inaba after the belts were vacated by Keiji Muto & Naomichi Marufuji.
Dupree and Wagner previously held the GHC tag titles in April 2020 but were forced to vacate the titles due to travel restrictions during the pandemic.
Satoshi Kojima teamed with Naomichi Marufuji and Masato Tanaka in a victory against new GHC champion Go Shiozaki, Daiki Inaba & Yoshiki Inamura with Kojima pinning the GHC heavyweight champion. Kojima is set to challenge Shiozaki for the title on June 12th at the CyberFight Festival.

Days after his loss to Shiozaki for the vacant GHC heavyweight gold, Kaito Kiyomiya defeated Ninja Mack in a singles match with a Tiger Suplex.
The event took place just hours after All Japan’s Champion Carnival finals in the same arena. It’s one of the busiest weeks of the year for pro wrestling in Japan as Golden Week includes several public holidays and a lengthy list of wrestling shows around Japan.
