NJPW’s Best of the Super Juniors 33 continued in Himeji on Saturday.
Only one match took place in A Block on the show, with Valiente Jr. pulling out the win over Kasai in a match that favored Kasai’s hardcore style. At one point during the bout, Kasai created a structure out of chairs outside the ring that he dubbed Himeji Castle, and Valiente Jr. later used Kasai’s skewers against him.
Meanwhile, five B Block matches took place, and there is now a five-way tie atop the group, with El Desperado, YOH, Taiji Ishimori, SHO, and Daisuke Sasaki all sitting at six points. Robbie Eagles, Jakob Austin Young, Yoshinobu Kanemaru, and Hyo are all tied just below at four points, while KUSHIDA sits at the bottom of the group with two points.
