Zack Sabre Jr. finally wins! Well, at least by countout.
Going to into his match-up against the Bullet Club member, the England native was on a severe losing streak in the early goings of the G1 Climax tournament.
Sabre Jr. had lost to SANADA, IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada, and Hiroshi Tanahashi. The Rev Pro British Heavyweight Champion had a different game plan going into his bout with Bad Luck Fale, as Zack attacked every body part with a submission in hopes of wearing Fale down.
Fale eventually took the match outside where he dominated the 31-year-old by throwing him into chairs and taking the fight to the crowd. The Bullet Club member tried to connect with his finisher, but Sabre Jr. managed to escape and Fale took out Chase Owens by accident.
In the end, Sabre Jr. is able to counter the Grenade with an armbar and then releases the hold as the count gets close to 20. Zack makes it into the ring; however, Fale is unable to beat the 20-count and the former wins his first match-up within 7-minutes via countout.
Zack Sabre Jr.’s score is now 1-3 (2 points), whereas Bad Luck Fale falls down to a record of 1-3 (2 points) as well.
