G1 Climax finalists determined

Much to the chagrin of those in the Nippon Budokan, Jay White is the B Block finalist. Fans booed and started filing out of the arena before White even had the time to address them and celebrate. White won his last six matches to secure the block win.

White will square off against Kota Ibushi to determine the winner of the G1 Climax 29 on Monday. The winner is rewarded with a spot in Wrestle Kingdom’s main event.

White beat the leader of Los Ingobernables de Japón, Tetsuya Naito, during their final match in the tournament. Hirooki Goto, Jon Moxley and Tetsuya Naito all finished in second with 10 points.

Following what seemed like 42 reversals, White hit the sleeper suplex, a Death Valley Driver and Blade Runner to advance to the finals.

To further humiliate Natio, White posed over him stealing his trademark eye-opening taunt.

“Naito. Naito. Tranquillo. Get him out of here. Get that piece of s—t out of here,” said White as Naito was led away. The crowd booed White.

“I told you. This is my G1. Even when I was down three to none, I told you,” White said admonishing the crowd.

White called out Ibushi. Ibushi obliged coming down to the ring to face his challenger. White promised that Gedo would not be involved in their match.

“I don’t believe it,” said Rocky Romero on commentary.

White offered to shake Ibushi’s hand. White took a swipe at Ibushi. Ibushi dodged launching a kick at White. White rolled to the other side of the ring.

Gedo grabbed Ibushi’s leg from outside the ring. White chop blocked Ibushi’s leg and began working it over. White wrapped Ibushi’s leg in a steel chair and battered it over and over with another chair.

“Ibushi, tomorrow at the G1 final you will breathe with the Switchblade,” White cackled.
