NOAH Tag Tourney results

Big shocker this past weekend in NOAH's 2-day tag tournament as Takeshi Rikioh scored a clean pinfall over GHC heavyweight champion Kenta Kobashi! This is Kobashi's first direct pinfall loss since October last year when he was pinned by Yoshinari Ogawa in a Captain's Fall Elimination Tag Match. Could this lead to a second title defence against Rikioh?
