-- You were losing the past 2 matches, but today you finally get a win, how do you feel about that?

Shibata:
'I am saying, “don’t worry”. I’ll show you, what I am capable of!'

-- After the match, you were cheered on by Nagata, how did that feel?

Shibata:
'It felt nice for sure. There are things that you only understand between you and your partner because you fought alongside of him, so Okada wouldn’t have a clue to what the hell I am talking about. But there are things that you don’t understand it until you collide head on with each other. That’s all from me. Thank you very much!'

(* Shake firmly with Nagata)

Nagata:
'That’s very cool of him! Having many claims and opinions is great! This New Japan Pro-wrestling is all about bashing together the elements of the principles, making claims, and ideology! How you can create a massive surge of heat on top of the ring! If Shibata becomes champion, we will surely make new things to happen. I am very much looking forward to it! He will create more active New Japan Pro-wrestling! And I want him to start the momentum at Ryogoku! That’s all!'


Okada:
'Shibata has stepped up the notch since I said to him “that’s all you got” in the previous match! But if you are the champion, that’s not good enough!! Always keeps that switch on, always keeping it real!'
