VICTORY SPEECH

TETSUYA NAITO: "Tranquilo, tranquilo, assenayo! Tonight was a tough battle, but as you saw, I stand tall at the top of the B Block. In the G1 Climax every twist and turn only makes it more exciting. Kota Ibushi gave his all, but now, the focus shifts to the future.

Hiroshi Tanahashi, I hope you were watching. Because, at the Spike Dome, destino will be fulfilled. I will win the G1 Climax, and the IWGP Heavyweight Championship will be mine. No one can stop Los Ingobernables de Japon.

And speaking of which, SANADA, my own compañero, my next opponent. We share a bond, but in the ring, it's every man for himself. Will your defeat bring me one step closer to the Spike Dome or will you be my downfall? Let's see what destiny has in store for us."

EVIL..BUSHI...SANADA...HIROMU...Y...NAITO! NOSOTROS: LOS INGOBERNABLES...DE...JA-...-PON!”

PRESS CONFERENCE

TETSUYA NAITO: "Tonight was a pivotal moment in the G1 Climax, and despite the unexpected challenges Kota Ibushi threw my way, I stand atop the B Block. The journey is far from over, and Hiroshi Tanahashi, hear me loud and clear – your time is running out.

Now, onto my next challenge, SANADA. We're familia, and the dynamics within Los Ingobernables de Japon are complex. But in the ring, we're all warriors pursuing our destiny. If SANADA decides to interfere with my path to victory, that's his choice. I won't let anything or anyone divert me from my goal.

Tranquilo, assenayo, we're just getting started. The road to the Spike Dome is paved with obstacles, and I welcome them all. In the end, destino will prevail, and the IWGP Heavyweight Championship will come home to Los Ingobernables de Japon."
