Shinsuke Nakamura, Kazuchika Okada, Tomohiro Ishii, Jado & Gedo (CHAOS) vs Hiroshi Tanahashi, Togi Makabe, Kota Ibushi, KUSHIDA & Ryusuke Taguchi
- Makabe & Ishii eliminated each other over the top rope.
- Taguchi made Jado submit to an ankle lock.
- KUSHIDA pinned Gedo with a roll up.
- Okada made KUSHIDA submit to Red Ink after countering the Hoverboard Stretch into a Tombstone.

This was a great match with lots of fun exchanges between guys in top Wrestle Kingdom matches. Especially Nakamura and Ibushi, which I think is going to be something special.
