Jay White, Minoru Suzuki, Kota Ibushi, Will Ospreay, and Taichi continue to be on top of the A-Block rankings with 6 pts. each; however, former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada is coming close to the top spot with four points.
We’re more than half-way in the G1 Climax and it appears that Yujiro Takahashi, Shingo Takagi, Tomohiro Ishii, and Jeff Cobb have no chance at getting into the finals unless the latter three win all their upcoming matches.
In a Wrestle Kingdom 13 rematch, Kota Ibushi and Will Ospreay fought each other in the main event, the feud between Tomohiro Ishii and Taichi was reignited, and Okada had another war with Minoru Suzuki.
