Championship. If UE wins, Takagi and Tsuji can\u2019t challenge Newman for the IWGP Hvt. Championship again<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Newman hit a kick to Takagi\u2019s injured ribs early. He continued to work them over when they went to the floor and then back into the ring. Newman also tagged in and went after Takagi\u2019s midsection. Takagi finally managed to make the hot tag to Tsuji who ran wild.<\/p>\n<p>Takagi and Tsuji worked together to wear down Newman with Lee out of the picture. All four men eventually ended up going at it in the ring and Tsuji ended a big sequence worn back breaker on Newman and everyone was down.<\/p>\n<p>Tsuji was in control on Newman, but Newman shoved him towards the ref and then hit a low blow. Takagi ran right into the ring and went at it with Newman. He tried the same thing with Takagi!, but Takagi blocked it and shoved Newman at the ref and hit a low blow of his own!<\/p>\n<p>Takagi and Tsuji worked together to take down Newman. Takagi held him up for a Gene Blaster. Lee broke up the pin and Takagi nailed him with a Pumping Bomber. Takagi held onto Lee and told him to hit another Gene Blaster. Tsuji connected and it was good for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Unbound Company at 18:56. Tsuji earns a shot at the IWGP Hvt. Championship at Dominion. (***3\/4)<\/p>\n<p><em>(Radicans Analysis: I much rather see another Newman vs. Takagi match, but Tsuji vs. Newman is a much more intriguing match for Dominion from a drawing standpoint. People are going to want to see if Tsuji can learn from his previous encounter with Newman and win the IWGP Hvt. Championship.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Contact Sean at pwtorchsean@gmail.com.
