– Naito got on the mic and said he had finally beaten Okada in the main event of the Tokyo Dome. Maybe they could do this again sometime. Okada raised his fist and smiled in response.

– Both championship belts were presented to Naito, who laid them on the ground and posed above them.

– Naito got on the mic again and asked the crowd how it was to see him finally flip the script. What is he going to do with these belts? “You all know what the answer is: Tranquilo! Assenayo.” Naito said he will never forget this weekend and with these two belts he will now take steps forward into the future.

– He started to close to the show with the first L.I.J. roll call at the Tokyo Dome, but before he could say “Japon!” Kenta ran into the ring and attacked him. Kenta hit Naito with Go 2 Sleep and sat on his chest holding both belts as the crowd started chanting for him to go home. Bushi came out to try and help Naito, but Kenta was already on his way out of the ring, egging on the boos of the fans on his way out of the arena. Bushi helped Naito to the back.
