After a two day break, New Japan returns with the A-Block’s fifth night of tournament action. Here’s all you need to know about G1 Climax 29 Night 9 including how to watch.

The main event features a battle between the block’s two lone undefeated wrestlers as Kazuchika Okada and KENTA are set to clash. After a slow start, Hiroshi Tanahashi is beginning to surge with his sights now locked on SANADA. The show is set to take place on Saturday, July 27, live from the Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium in Naka-ku, Nagoya.

All 10 A-Block participants will have their fifth tournament matches including two first time ever singles matches (Kota Ibushi vs. Lance Archer, Kazuchika Okada vs. KENTA). Underneath them will be four tag team matches set up as previews for the B-Block’s next set of tournament matches scheduled to take place the following night.
