After the match, Rocky Romero comes out while Tetsuya Naito prepares his fellow LIJ for a title match. Romero declines with thanks and says to Takahashi that he has put together a great event with the “All Star Junior Festival”. Romero would like to repeat this in the States as well. He’s had a few chats backstage and is announcing the US edition of the All Star Junior Festival on August 19th in Philadelphia. Naito also wants to compete but Romero disappoints him as only juniors are allowed to compete. Romero and Takahashi seal their partnership with a handshake. You want to put on a great show with the best juniors in the world.

Lance Archer comes to the ring with a microphone. He commends Rosser, who is recovering from injuries from Juice Robinson’s attack, for his attitude. He remembers they last dueled in 2009 and it was a hardcore match. Accordingly, he challenges Rosser to a street fight. Rosser accepts the challenge.

– Fletcher injured his rib on “Captial Collision” following performing a moonsault outside. This was the second injury following the moonsault, as he sustained a laceration on “Sakura Genesis”.

Afterwards, Fletcher and Davis hold a promo. As with Capital Collision, they claim to be the best tag team in the world and FTR must learn to accept that. With these pictures the show goes off air.
