- After the main event, IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Hiromu Takahashi, who used to be EVIL's stablemate in Los Ingobernables De Japon, issued a challenge to EVIL for both of those titles or even just one of those titles.
Hiromu: I have a favour to ask of you, EVIL. Let me challenge for those belts you just took! If you're too scared to put them both up, one or the other is fine!
