Notes:
- The duo impressive of Roger Stevens and Kenneth Marshall bucked their recent slump with a very impressive performance over KYOTO:CRUSH. The North American duo had all of the answers, and their experience guided them to a crucial victory in the tournament. Marshall did some heavy lifting early on, as he and Tanaka put on a technical wrestling display that had the crowd on the edge of their seat. When it was time for Roger Stevens to clean things up, he was able to unleash his fury within the confines of the rulebook. The LARIAT that Stevens connected with was hard enough to make a grown man blush. The pinfall was academic after he connected clean, earning the team a much needed three points.
- Satoshi Watanabe declared that he forced The Shining Stars into intense training and preparation after their loss to the Speed Dragons on Night 2. In what would end up being the shortest match thus far in the tournament, the former BRAVE Tag Team Champions looked like the well oiled machine we've become accustomed to seeing. Kondo looked tremendously vicious, and finished things off with a nasty looking stump puller that had Allan Joseph screaming in pain. Like a hot knife through butter - the Shining Stars looked impressive against a very experienced and dangerous team.
- The fans were on their feet for the announcement that Daisuke Shinzaki would finally be stepping foot inside of the ring in BRAVE. The fans have admired Shinzaki's prowess from a distance, as he is one of the most decorated wrestlers out of Tokyo. Shinzaki had a stranglehold on the main event scene in TERROR for many years, and now looks to test himself against the best wrestlers in BRAVE. Shinzaki made an open challenge, which was unexpectedly accepted by young submission expert - Akihiro Sagawa. The former RISE Jr. Heavyweight champion is also looking to test himself against a fresh batch of new competitors, and saw this as a golden opportunity to sink his teeth into something major in BRAVE. Shinzaki hinted that he felt his size and experience would be too much for Sagawa to overcome. Sagawa said that once Shinzaki was on the mat, he would have his way with him and declared while he was listed as a Jr. Heavyweight - he had plans to become the face of BRAVE. The fans applauded as the two men had a stare down in the middle of the ring. All that's left is for Mr. Inoue to prepare the paperwork to make the match official.
- The final match of the evening had two undefeated teams competing against each other. Someone's 'OH' had to go. Takeshi Uehara dominated the contest from a physical perspective. His suplex arsenal was on full display, and nearly had a victory for his team after a nasty Backdrop driver on White Light II. The Speed Dragons were able to persevere and use their quickness as well as tandem offence to regain control of the match. White Light II executed a fisherman's buster on Fija, before tagging The Black Jaguar to finish the match off with a perfect 450 splash that brought the crowd to their feet. Uehara tried to break up the pin, but White Light II cut him off, which allowed the referee's hand to slap the mat three times. The Speed Dragons were now in sole possession of first place in the tournament with a record of 3-0.
- After the match, White Light II took the mic, and in broken Japanese - thanked the crowd for their support. While doing so, Satoshi Watanabe made his way to the stage and stared him down. Watanabe seemed perturbed by WLII's gesture and made it clear that he was a marked man.

Reactions:
- In the backstage area after their match, Kenneth Marshall and Roger Stevens said all of the right things about how they came together to pull out a much needed victory. Marshall reminded the media that they still hadn't been pinned, and could very easily be sitting with 9 points had things gone their way. Roger Stevens seemed more in control of his emotions than at other points in the tournament, and he said he was harnessing his fury for the proper moments. The two wore matching attire on this occasions with their last names written in block letters along the outside of their right legs. The duo also sported matching black pull over hooded sweaters during the interview. Two individuals coming together as one was the message, and it was received loud and clear.
- The Shining Stars under the orders of Satoshi Watanabe once again skipped their media appearance. We're to assume that Watanabe is trying his best to eliminate all distractions so that he can get the most out of his men as they try to claw their way out of the hole they find themselves in.
- Daisuke Shinzaki was all smiles in front of the media now that he's going to be able to showcase his skills in the ring. When asked if he was surprised about who answered his challenge, Shinzaki gave a diplomatic answer and spoke highly of ALL the talent inside of the BRAVE locker room. Shinzaki said he admired Sagawa's courage, and noted that he felt as though the two of them would be capable of putting on a show for the fans.
- When it was Sagawa's time to speak, he said that there was no better way to make an impact then to step inside of the ring with the very best wrestlers in the world. Sagawa said that BRAVE afforded him these types of opportunities, and he planned to shock the world.
- White Light II and The Black Jaguar continue to pile up wins in the tournament. No team has used tandem offence in a more practical and efficient way than these two. With just two matches left, they felt they were the odds on favourites to capture the BRAVE Tag Team Championships.
- KYOTO:CRUSH hung around until the end as they wanted to share their thoughts on the tournament thus far. The two Young Lions felt that while they have yet to score a victory, that they were making progress. Their spirits remained high, and they were going to keep training as hard as they possibly could. The media seemed to appreciate how candid they were, and wished them well the rest of the tournament.
--
Vibe:
- The arena is electric when Daisuke Shinzaki is the focus. Rumours are that Shinzaki had hoped that Satoshi Watanabe might be the one to accept his challenge since fans and media have been clamouring for this 'Dream Match' for years. Watanabe is clearly invested in the performance of the Shining Stars at the moment, so this match will have to wait.
- The popularity of the Speed Dragons continues to grow. They have their fate in their own hands heading forward which is an excellent place to be.
- While Roger Stevens rarely looks for praise, we couldn't help but notice that the BRAVE crowd are vocal when he's unleashing his anger. They've accepted that he might be a little rough around the edges, but as time has passed they seem more agreeable to allowing him to be who he is without judgement.
