All Asia Tag Team Championship
On January 26, 2014, Akiyama and Kanemaru gained a measure of revenge on their former stablemates, when they defeated Aoki and Suzuki to win the All Asia Tag Team Championship. In April, Akiyama made it to the finals of the 2014 Champion Carnival, before losing to Takao Omori on April 27. Two days later, Akiyama and Kanemaru lost the All Asia Tag Team Championship to Keisuke Ishii and Shigehiro Irie at a DDT Pro-Wrestling event. Later that same event, Akiyama captured the comedic Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship by accidentally pinning the previous champion, the title belt itself, during a backstage interview. After the Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship was vacated, Akiyama was chosen to take part in a decision match to determine the new champion. On June 15, he was defeated in the match by Takao Omori.
