*Yoshino fails in his 5th defense, Ricochet becomes the 18th Champion
The Horiguchi vs. Flamita Brave Gate match set up yesterday was added to MEMORIAL GATE.
Doi challenged Tozawa & Takagi for a Twin Gate match. Takagi asked him who his partner would be. He initially said Hulk, then wondered aloud if that was such a good idea. Hulk, taking this as an insult, got upset. Kzy mediated the situation, calming things down and convincing the duo to team together. The match was set for MEMORIAL GATE.
Doi & Hulk attacked Kanda & Tanizaki after the semi-final. CIMA got caught in the cross fire again, which lead to him berating everyone.
Tozawa was speechless by the incredible display put on in the main event. Once he regained his composure, he asked Ricochet to answer his question from yesterday. Which unit would he fight with? Ricochet responded by saying MONSTER EXPRESS was his unit, and his home. Nation congratulated Ricochet on winning the title, but added that it was also his dream. He was a bit miffed at being beaten to it by Ricochet. Because of that, he wouldn't be shaking his hand until after they fight in Korakuen. He left the ring. Tozawa told Ricochet not to be offended by it, Uhaa would get over his jealousy soon enough.
At this point, the roster came out, and each of them took turns congratulating Ricochet on becoming the first foreign Dream Gate champion.
Comments of note:
- Maria said she would surely become the first transgender Dream Gate champion.
- T-Hawk said he enjoyed the brief time they spent as teammates (with Ricochet), but was now looking forward to the next time they go toe to toe.
- Kanda said he didn't believe a foreigner would ever become Dream Gate champion. But that had nothing to do with him because he had other things to worry about.
- Kotoka asked if he could join MONSTER EXPRESS. He was flatly refused.
- Mochizuki complimented him (Ricochet) on the fine form of his finishing high kick. (The Benadryller is a go2sleep style high kick).
Yoshino thanked Ricochet for the fight. Even though he lost the title, he regained one of the strongest stablemates he has ever had.
Tozawa & MX closed things out.

Absolutely stunning. Congratulations to Ricochet on this remarkable achievement. The first gaijin to win Open The Dream Gate, Dragon Gate's top championship. It's surely the full culmination of the journey that started at Untouchable 2010 (technically Enter The Dragon 2010 was his DGUSA debut, but Untouchable was his breakthrough).
Looking forward to seeing what Gabe and company put together to celebrate this.
