After a three day break, New Japan returns with the B-Block’s fourth night of tournament action. Here’s all you need to know about G1 Climax 29 Night 8 including how to watch.
The main event features a battle between two common foes as Tetsuya Naito squares off with Tomohiro Ishii. Still without a win, Jay White will look to score his first victory in a match against Jeff Cobb. The show is set to take place on Wednesday, July 24, live from the Hiroshima Sun Plaza in Nishi-ku, Hiroshima.
All ten B-Block participants will have their fourth tournament match including two first time ever singles matches (Jon Moxley vs. Shingo Takagi, Jay White vs. Jeff Cobb). Underneath them will be four tag team matches set up as previews for the A-Block’s next set of tournament matches scheduled to take place on July 27.

Taichi revealed the Iron Fingers for the first time during his main event match against Tetsuya Naito in Saporro but kept them hidden the following night in Tokyo. Now he faces a man in Hirooki Goto who ended Taichi’s first NEVER Openweight Championship reign. Watch for Taichi to try and avenge that loss by any means necessary.
The undefeated Jon Moxley will look to keep his winning streak alive while Jay White will try to turn his fortunes by finally securing his first win. The main event is the 10th singles meeting between Tetsuya Naito and Tomohiro Ishii. With their series split at 5-4 in favor of Naito, look for Ishii to even the score.
