Hikuleo and Sanada are on their way to the quarter finals of the G1 Climax 33 tournament.

Sanada continued his absolutely perfect G1 Climax tournament by defeating Chase Owens. Owens tried to bend the rules by clocking Sanada with his own knee brace. That ticked off Sanada who puts Owens away with a Shining Wizard and a Dead Fall.

Hikuleo moved on by pinning Shota Umino with his powerslam and chokeslam. Instead of celebrating his own victory Hikuleo helped Umino up and shook his hand.
