As a former world champion EVIL has standards to meet and he has Bullet Club to help him out whenever he needs.\u00a0 Robinson will go it alone but he has never backed down from a challenge.\u00a0 This could go either way as both are close in points but EVIL may be the more likely winner.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>YOSHI-HASHI (2) vs Tetsuya Naito (6)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Naito has a lot to lose here against HASHI and that kind of pressure could lead to a slip up.\u00a0 HASHI is coming off the biggest moment of his career as he recently won his first title in NJPW and he would love nothing more than to continue this momentum and pin the IWGP double champion although that would require YOSHI-HASHI beating Naito for the first time ever.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hiroshi Tanahashi (4) vs KENTA (4)<a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/jTy5RUi\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"source: imgur.com\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/jTy5RUi.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These men met in the G1 last year with KENTA emerging as the winner of that first time ever clash between the former ace of NOAH and the former ace of NJPW.\u00a0 Since then KENTA has embraced his darker side and gone from strength to strength so our money is on him repeating that feat.\u00a0 With both men tied for 4 points, this is a crucial match in the tournament especially as the winner gets a tiebreaker advantage should both men tie in the end.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
