Yoh is your Best of the Super Juniors 33 (BOTSJ 33) Champion. Yoh defeated Kosei Fujita to claim the title and win a IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship match.
The finals of the tournament was a replay of last year’s final in which Fujita beat Yoh.
The match itself started out slowly with both men not wanting to make a mistake so early on. Yoh bails from the ring taking out a cameraman as he does so.
Yoh and Fujita come face to face, butt heads and start trading forearm shots. Fujita bounces off the ropes chopping Yoh in the chest. In a tribute to Toro Yano who is on commentary, Yoh runs into the ropes and begs off. The official is forced to wave Fujita away. Yoh gets the crowd to chant:
Back! Back! Back!
Back in the ring, Fujita fires back by dragging Yoh to the mat by his hair like Yano would. Fujita does Yano’s taunt as well.
Yoh then gets the crowd to do Robbie Eagle’s chant as he neck snaps Fujita.
“What about him?” asks Eagles from ringside.
Fujita nails Yoh with a running kick to the chest off the ropes. Fujita starts working over Yoh’s knee and leg including putting him into a Boston Crab.
Yoh stuns Fujita with a massive Flap Jack just splattering him on the mat. Yoh hits a cannon ball off the top rope.
Yoh then flips off Fujita. They get into a chop and forearm duel. Yoh wins that and gets a two count with Drop the Needle.
Another chop duel until Fujita starts running the ropes getting chopped at every turn by Yoh.
Fujita arm locks Yoh forever until he finally makes the ropes. Springboard drop kick from Fujita. Fujita has Yoh in a bow and arrow submission. He manages to drag his head and shoulders under the ropes to break the hold. Yoh kicks out of a German Suplex. Pop-up German Suplex. Yoh still kicks out.
Yoh turns the Thrill Ride into a Crucifix pin for a two and a half count. Both men get to their knees and start throwing hands. Fujita blocks the Rainmaker Clothesline with a punch to the face but Yoh still follows through.
Yoh gives Fujita another Rainmaker Clothesline but minutes later Fujita hits one of his own. Yoh lands a nasty GTR, a Bomaye, a Rainmaker for a two count. Yoh finally pins Fujita with a Direct Drive.
Yoh is presented with his trophy.
IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Douki comes down to the ring. As Douki distracts Yoh, Sho attacks. They kick and stomp Yoh into the canvass. Yoh manages to dodge a black mirror shot, double low-blows both men and hits them both with the black mirror.
