NJPW Climax 35 night three results:
- A Block: Yota Tsuji defeated Yuya Uemura
- A Block: Taichi defeated David Finlay
- A Block: SANADA defeated EVIL
- A Block: Boltin Oleg defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi
- A Block: Ryohei Oiwa defeated Callum Newman
- Konosuke Takeshita & Rocky Romero defeated Great-O-Khan & Jakob Austin Young
- Ren Narita & Yoshinobu Kanemaru defeated Jado & El Phantasmo
- Drilla Moloney & Taiji Ishimori defeated Shoma Kato & YOSHI-HASHI
Notes:
- House of Torture targeted El Phantasmo’s injured leg in the second match of the evening, softening him up for his bout against Ren Narita on Wednesday.
- Great-O-Khan continued to attack Konosuke Takeshita after the bell with an Iron Claw. They will have their first ever singles match against one another on Wednesday.
- Newman continued selling his right knee, which he injured last year and has become a target for his opponents thus far in the tournament.
- Boltin Oleg and Hiroshi Tanahashi showed mutual respect after their match. Walker Stewart played up how impressive Oleg has been on commentary.
- EVIL and SANADA, longtime tag partners, have once again found themselves on the same side. Despite both being in House of Torture, Don Fale and DIck Togo still got involved on behalf of EVIL. Yoshinobu Kanemaru came out and took SANADA’s side, possibly as they were both previously members of Just Five Guys. Lots of shenigans. Sanada got the win by evading a low blow and rolling up EVIL for three.
- Yuya Uemura tore his triceps in last year’s G1 while wrestling Yota Tsuji, forcing him to withdraw from the tournament, although he finished the match and won. This year Tsuji picked up the victory with a Gene Blaster.
