KENTA, who won the STRONG Openweight Championship at the event, had some words for CM Punk, who was in attendance. Kenta is known for using the GTS finisher and joked on Twitter about Punk being in attendance, expressing his hope that the former WWE Champion would enjoy seeing a "real Go 2 Sleep" in action.

"I heard that my biggest fan in the world came to arena last night. I hope he enjoyed REAL Go2Sleep," Kenta wrote.
