G1 Climax 35 Night 2 Results (7/20/25): Kidd Forfeits Match Due To Injury, Taichi Defeats Uemura

Because of Gabe Kidd's unfortunate injury, A Block ended up main eventing night two with the clash of former Just 4 Guys teammates, Taichi and Yuya Uemura. Taichi served as somewhat of a mentor to Uemura when he returned from excursion and it was clear throughout the match how much he had studied the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champion.

After nearly 20 minutes of neutralizing limbs, near KOs, and fighting spirit, Taichi defeated Yuya Uemura with a Black Mephisto. The competitors embraced after the match and played the Just 4 Guys theme song for old times sake.

Another standout from night two was Konosuke Takeshita versus El Phantasmo in the B Block semi-main event, a rematch of their fantastic G1 Climax 34 clash last year. ELP picked up the win this time and brought their personal singles rivalry record to 2-1-1, still favoring Takeshita by one win. As far as G1 35 goes, both men now have 2 points.

Leading A Block after defeating Yota Tsuji on night two is EVIL with 4 points. The top of B Block is currently tied by Drilla Moloney and YOSHI-HASHI with 4 points each.
