The approach of a new century of professional wrestling is finally upon us. What made this decisive was Akiyama's three consecutive victories. On the first day he beat Misawa and Taue in succession, and on the second day he also defeated Kobashi. In order to establish new values, it is first necessary to destroy the old ones, and for this reason, the Four Heavenly Kings of Pro Wrestling were destined to be destroyed someday, but this became a reality with the two consecutive matches following the launch of Noah. Furthermore, what kind of wrestling does Akiyama want to do? He needs to show it concretely, and I'm sure Akiyama has the expression for it.

Kenta Kobayashi appeared in the first match of the second night. He said he was "extremely nervous", but showed off a powerful dive, however he failed to break Asako's stronghold. In the end, he tapped out to the Camel Clutch. Asako barked, "Let me fight someone stronger!"
