Tetsuya Naito got the better of Hiromu Takahashi in a clash between Los Ingobernables de Japon members at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 19.
The finish saw Hiromu prevent Naito from going to the top rope to go for the stardust press. Instead, Naito finished off Hiromu with Destino for the win.
The two men embraced after the bout, putting their fist in the air.

The duo won NJPW World Tag League 2024, but instead of challenging for the IWGP Tag Team Championships, decided to face each other at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 19.
Hiromu and Naito were originally scheduled to meet at the NJPW 48th Anniversary event in March 2020, but it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
