The finals of the G1 Climax 32 are set. 

The tournament semifinals took place on Tuesday from the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, Japan. 

In the night’s first semifinal match, Kazuchika Okada defeated Tama Tonga to advance to tomorrow’s finals. He’ll face Will Ospreay, who defeated Tetsuya Naito in Wednesday’s second semifinal match.
