G1 Climax Night 6 saw an interesting B Block against former eight-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion and G1 Climax 17, G1 Climax 25, and G1 Climax 28 winner Hiroshi Tanahashi and former two-time IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion Juice Robinson.

Coming into the match, the two wrestled 20 singles matches against one another going back to 2003. Tanahashi held a 15-3-2 (wins-losses-ties) series led over Yano, yet they had not faced each other since August 2, 2015, during G1 Climax 25, when Tanahashi was able to defeat Yano.

On July 25th at Dominion Suzuki-Gun members, Dangerous Tekkers (Zack Sabre Jr/Taichi) defeated Golden Ace (Hiroshi Tanahashi/Kota Ibushi) for the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, beginning their first reign with the title.
