The Impact Team of Ace Austin and Chris Bey were handed their first loss of the Super Junior Tag tournament tonight. The red hot team of Lio Rush and YOH defeated them on night five. Bey and Austin had Yoh set up for the pin but Yoh kicked out shocking Bey. Rush hit Austin with a stunner. Yoh followed up knocking Bey into next week with a super kick. Yoh took out Austin on the floor as Rush pinned Bey with a frog splash from the top rope. Five teams are now tied for first place: Ace Austin and Chris Bey, Lio Rush and YOH, Francesco Akira and TJP, EL LINDAMAN and Alex Zayne, Titán and Bushi.

DOUKI and Yoshinobu Kanemaru, SHO and Dick Togo still haven’t won a match.

The winners of the tournament get to challenge for the titles at Wrestle Kingdom. If the champs win, they get to pick their opponents.
