On November 3, Eita and T-Hawk defeated previous champions, Dragon Kid and K-ness. to become the Open the Twin Gate Champions. Later, they would defeat MAD BLANKEY (BxB Hulk, Cyber Kong and YAMATO) to win the Open The Triangle Gate Championship, along with Flamita. They would however, lose the Open the Twin Gate titles to YAMADoi (Naruki Doi and YAMATO), on November 15.
