VICTORY SPEECH

KENNY OMEGA: "Ladies and gentlemen, New Japan Pro-Wrestling fans, what an incredible night we've just witnessed at the G1 Climax 28 tournament! This is your Cleaner, Kenny Omega, and I want to express my gratitude for the support you've shown throughout this intense competition.”

“First and foremost, I have to tip my hat to my brother, my friend, and my partner, Kota Ibushi. What a battle we had tonight! Kota, you are one of the toughest competitors in this business, and it's an honor to share the ring with you. We've been through thick and thin together as the Golden Lovers, and win or lose, our bond remains unbreakable.”

“Now, shifting gears to the man who emerged victorious in the B Block, none other than Tetsuya Naito. Naito, you've proven once again why you're a force to be reckoned with in New Japan. Your resilience, your skill, it's all top-notch. I hate to say it as a rival in LIJ but...congratulations on your well-deserved victory.”

“And without further ado, let me introduce to you the man who will be competing in the G1 Climax Finals tomorrow, the one and only Tetsuya Naito!”

TETSUYA NAITO: "Tranquilo..., tranquilo..., tranquilo... ¡Hola, mis amigos! Naito here, the winner of the B Block in this year's G1 Climax. I know some of you were speculating about a four-way tie, but, well, I had other plans. Sorry to burst your bubble, but you can't predict tranquilo chaos.”

“Hiroshi Tanahashi, tomorrow we step into the ring for the G1 Climax Finals. You and I, once again, face off in a battle that transcends championships. Tanahashi, you're a legend, but tomorrow, tranquilo will be the name of the game. Get ready for a match that will leave everyone talking.”

“And to those who doubted me, who debated the possibilities of a tie-breaking scenario, well, here I am, standing tall. I hope you enjoyed the tranquilo journey, and for those who didn't believe, keep underestimating me. It only fuels the tranquilo fire.”

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

PRESS CONFERENCE

REPORTER: “Tetsuya Naito, how does it feel to win the B Block and advance to the G1 Climax Finals?”

TETSUYA NAITO: "Tranquilo, my friend. Winning the B Block is just the beginning. Tomorrow, I face Tanahashi, and the journey is far from over. As for the doubters expecting Zack Sabre Jr. to derail my journey, tranquilo always prevails. Expect the unexpected.”

REPORTER: “Any words for Hiroshi Tanahashi before your match tomorrow?”

NAITO: "Tanahashi, my old rival, tomorrow will be a battle for the ages. Get ready for tranquilo to take center stage. And remember, in the end, Los Ingobernables de Japon always conquer.”
