22nd January 2025

The fourth match featured a showdown between the luchador brothers El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno del Mal. Hailing from the prestigious Wagner wrestling dynasty, the two had previously teamed up in Japan at the Noah event held at the Nippon Budokan on July 13th; now, they were set to face each other in a singles match at that very same venue—a place where their father, Dr. Wagner Jr., and uncle, Silver King, had also once competed. Wagner Jr. held the advantage in terms of experience and track record within the Noah ring, and above all, he possessed the pride of an older brother. However, Galeno held the upper hand over his brother when it came to youth and physique.

The singles match between these two heavyweight luchadores was a high-impact bout featuring both aerial maneuvers and raw, physical clashes; ultimately, Galeno’s momentum proved superior to Wagner Jr.’s.

"I trained desperately for this match today. As a result, I was able to defeat my brother. Thank you (Wagner Jr.)." (Galeno)

"Thank you, my brother. Viva Mexico! Viva Japan! Viva Lucha Libre!" (Wagner Jr.)

At the Shinjuku event the following day (the 2nd), Wagner Jr. announced that the January 11th show at Korakuen Hall would be his final match for Noah. Ultimately, the fact that this brother-versus-brother showdown took place before he left the ring he knew so well surely made for a memorable experience.
