>At GLEAT’s Korakuen Hall show on the 9th, CIMA (48), who was named by new G-REX Champion El Lindaman (30) as his first challenger, flew into a rage—and then announced that he would be leaving the promotion after that match.
>The bout saw Lindaman struggle against the heavy kicks of Katsuhiko Nakajima. However, he endured them through sheer fighting spirit, catching Nakajima’s kicking leg and throwing him with a suplex to launch his comeback. The two traded offense back and forth, but with the cheers of the crowd behind him, Lindaman connected two consecutive Genbaku (Atomic Bomb) Holds before chaining into a Mōko Genbaku Hold to secure the ecstatic three-count.
>After the match, Lindaman took the microphone and shouted, “After all this time, the G-REX title is mine again! The new champion is me—El Lindaman!” He then declared that his first defense would take place at the November 3 Yokohama BUNTAI show in Kanagawa, naming CIMA as his opponent.
>Moments later, an enraged CIMA appeared. “So that’s how you do things, huh? Interesting. Let’s make it simple—the loser leaves the company. You better take responsibility, idiot, seriously,” he said, laying down a “loser leaves” stipulation before storming out of the ring. When Lindaman tried to continue speaking, CIMA tried to throw the iron barricade into the ring in anger. Though he briefly retreated backstage, he returned again, shouting, “Hey, I’ve changed my mind. My match with you will be my last one in this ring!”—unilaterally declaring that, win or lose, the November 3 event would be his final match in GLEAT.
