VICTORY SPEECH

TETSUYA NAITO: "Tranquilo. Tonight, we witnessed a battle between familia. SANADA, he fought with everything he had, and I respect that. Los Ingobernables de Japon, we face each other in the ring, but the bond remains strong.

As you can see, I stand tall with twelve points at the top of the B Block. Goto, Ishii, Omega, they're all right behind me, but destiny is a force that cannot be denied. Hiroshi Tanahashi, the Ace of New Japan, consider yourself on notice. I will win the G1, and at the Tokyo Dome, we'll create a moment that will be remembered forever.

Now, Zack Sabre Jr., you're the last hurdle in the B Block. Prepare yourself, because the tranquilo train doesn't stop. Tokyo Dome, here I come.

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

PRESS CONFERENCE

EVIL: "Tonight was a crucial match against SANADA. The count-out victory may not be the most conventional, but in the G1 Climax, a win is a win. We have a strong bond within Los Ingobernables de Japon, and facing each other in the ring is just another chapter in our story.

At this point, I sit atop the B Block with twelve points. Goto, Ishii, Omega – formidable opponents, but I remain tranquilo. The focus is on Hiroshi Tanahashi and the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. The G1 Climax is my path to destiny, and nothing will stand in my way.

Zack Sabre Jr., my final opponent in the B Block – I hope you're ready for a tranquilo showdown. Tokyo Dome awaits, and destiny will be realized."
