Minoru Suzuki(c) vs Hiroki Goto - Hair vs Hair match for the NEVER Openweight Championship

The veteran Minoru Suzuki almost choked Goto out in the early goings of the match. He began his sadistic brutalisation even when the doctor halted the match to check on Goto.

Goto showed a lot of heart but only continued taking a beating from Suzuki throughout the match. Goto rocked Suzuki with an elbow but Suzuki wrapped him in a guillotine and then locked in the sleeper.

Suzuki went for the Gotch driver but Goto managed to outpower him. Although both factions were banned from ringside, Suzuki-gun ran in and CHAOS neutralised things, preventing any real interference.

Suzuki hit a beautiful combination of palm strikes and then locked a sleeper in. Before the referee could complete the count, Suzuki went for the Gotch driver but Goto once again fought out, getting all of a lariat.

From the top turnbuckle, Suzuki locked Goto in with a guillotine but Goto's heart saw him land an avalanche ushigoroshi!

An elbow strike exchange between the two saw Goto surprisingly get the better of Suzuki, courtesy of a strong headbutt.

Goto made the comeback and hit the Goto revolution for the win!

Hiroki Goto defeated Minoru Suzuki to become the new NEVER Openweight Championship.

After the match, Suzuki-gun members were helping Minoru Suzuki to the back, but Suzuki shoved them away, took his own chair, went back in the ring and shaved the backside of his head.
