Zack Sabre Jr. has emerged as one of the leaders of the B Block.
It started out rough for the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion in the beginning, but Zack has been getting back-to-back wins as of late. This time, Zack fought Shingo Takagi and it wasn’t an easy feat.
It was slow in the first couple of minutes as both men understood each other. Zack tried to use his technical prowess to get the better of Shingo, but a DDT changed the pace of the match. The former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion started beating down Zack with suplexes and punches. But Zack caught Shingo’s arm and twisted it. That allowed Zack to take control and he worked over the damaged arm.
A clothesline and a Made In Japan from Shingo gave him some reprieve. The New Japan star would go for the pin, but it was only a two count. Zack came back with Zack Driver. He then stomped on Shingo's chest and gave him a Burning Hammer, which got him a strong nearfall.
Zack went to put an end to this match with a sleeper hold. Shingo fought hard, but Zack had it tightly clinched. Shingo finally got out of it, but Zack gave him a DDT and another Zack Driver for his troubles. That was only a nearfall. Both men traded clotheslines, but Shingo nearly took off Zack’s head. Then, he hit the last of the dragon, which resulted in another nearfall. Immediately, Zack rolled him up and he got the three count!
