Coming in, the standings for the A-Block of the G1 Climax has shifted a bit as Minoru Suzuki and Kota Ibushi have joined Jay White, Will Ospreay, and Taichi as the top talents in the group thus far. Ospreay, Ibushi, and Suzuki all have 4 points each.
While former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada and NEVER Openweight Champion Shingo Takagi finally scored their first wins on night five, both men are still at the bottom alongside Tomohiro Ishii, Yujiro Takahashi, and Jeff Cobb.
Night Seven of The G1 Climax 30 tournament saw a rematch between Tomohiro Ishii and Shingo Takagi, who had an incredible encounter last year during the G1 Climax that saw Takagi beat the “Stone Pitbull”. Also, Will Ospreay and Jay White collided in a singles bout for the first time in several years, and Kazuchika Okada battled Taichi.
