NAKAJIMA: Enthusiasm? Enthusiasm? Noah's noble GHC Heavyweight belt was handed over to an outside enemy. I have no choice but to take it back. Also, aren't we all being deceived? The champion, Jake Lee, isn't affiliated with Noah, he's an outside enemy. He's a sly guy, signing autographs for little kids during matches, and showing good manners. In the match the other day, I didn't give up, but the referee stopped it me. Did you put Noah Juniors in GLG, and even referees too? I want Sendai to come quickly. I can't wait. I could do it here now, but it's a sacred place. Please look forward to April 16th in Sendai. Kongoh's Katsuhiko Nakajima, I'll take it back. That's all. 

JAKE: Good evening everyone, I'm Jake Lee from GLG. This is my first defense, but I'm not particularly nervous or anxious. As the champion of Noah and the champion of the GHC, I have to receive Katsuhiko Nakajima firmly, and win on top of that. That's it.

Q: What are your impressions of each other after the pre matches? 

NAKAJIMA: Naturally, I think he's great as a wrestler. He's big, and has a good mask too, right? I will say it again, don't be fooled. Who'll go when seized by a outside enemy? I'm the only one.

JAKE: It goes without saying that those of you who are watching, should know that best. I'm more aware of someone who accepts me, but wouldn't it be better to be deceived by me a little more? If it's put like that, then that way should be more fun, right?  

Q: From the beginning of the fight, Nakajima was the first opponent you wanted to face, but what about the situation where that happens in the championship? 

JAKE: Why did I keep saying that? First of all, many wrestlers probably have more fear than respect. Why? Because you don't know what they are going to do. Doesn't everyone here feel that too? In this situation, I'm going to smash him with a single shot like that. Then, who accepts? Who takes? Well then, as the champion, I will take it this time. 

Q: What do you think about what he just said? 

NAKAJIMA: Accept? Hmmm, what do you mean, my territory? My world? He says a lot of things, and he's saying something like stepping in, but he's not there yet, not even one bit. In a sense, he's not yet in my world, but I am sure he will step into it in Sendai. I will open the door to my hearts content and accept him as challenger.     

Q: When you announced your challenge, Nakajima said, "I'll show you the real Noah"?

JAKE: I'm the one who is wearing the belt now, so I'm Noah, right? 

Q: Throughout the pre-matches, the development of looking down on each other continued with crazy smiles continued, but what is your opinion on Jake's theme of "Who will go crazy?"

NAKAJIMA: I don't remember going crazy

Q: Are you rediscovering your love for the GHC Heavyweight belt?

NAKAJIMA: One word, I'm Noah.

During the photo session, Jake doesn't look at Nakajima, and Nakajima approaches him. 

JAKE (holding up the belt): You want this, right? 

NAKAJIMA: Polish it well

JAKE (rubbing the belt in Nakajima's face): I'll polish it with your face. 

When the two separate, Nakajima turns to Jake and slaps him to the floor. Nakajima strikes a pose with an evil smile, before leaving.
