The no nonsense Narita booked his place in the final with victories over Tomohiro Ishii, Toru Yano and SANADA, while Zack Sabre Jr. used his versatility to get past Alex Zayne, David Finlay and EVIL to reach this 15 minute contest. This match marks Narita’s first singles meeting with ZSJ, who has a long relationship of mutual respect with Katsuyori Shibata, leading to their five minute grappling exhibition match in 2021.
