Up next is IWGP United States Champion Jay White vs. Juice Robinson.
The video promo focuses on the fact Robinson is dealing with a broken left hand and the fact "The Switchblade" has taken over Jay White.
Robinson is out wearing red, white, and blue trunks (with lace trim), a pirate hat, and a yellow colonial era jacket. JR mentioned he thinks White will retain because Robinson hasn't won any of the title matches he's been in. White comes out in all red with black trim and switchblade marks on his tights.
Ring announcer points out Robinson could be disqualified if he uses the cast on his left hand as a weapon.
White taunts Robinson by raising his left hand and Robinson takes him down quickly. The two separate and both end up going over the ropes. Robinson hits a running senton from the apron, then sends White into the security railings. White is then thrown into the time keeper's area and the security railing almost completely disintegrates. Robinson throws White back into the ring and hits multiple right hands. He thinks about throwing a left, but stops when the ref warns him. White takes over, tosses Robinson out, and then tosses him into multiple security railings - which are both destroyed.
White gets a two after suplexing Robinson into the corner pad, then stomps on Robinson's broken hand.

Robinson counters with a chop, but White goes back to the hand. Robinson gets a spinebuster and is shaking out the left hand. He also hits a clothesline in the corner with the left hand and the ref makes sure he used his arm not the cast.
Robinson with a German suplex and a bridge, but Robinson kicks out. Story is now White working on Robinson's left hand, but he's able to get out of the ring and by the security rail. White sends Robinson into the ring post, then suplexes him into Jim Ross! Josh Barnett enters the ring to go after White and there are multiple expletives which made the broadcast, including Ross saying, "Officials should get their (stuff) together." The ref has to keep Barnett at bay while Ross gets everything together. Ross mentions he's "not okay" after someone asked him.
White is still in control but they end up crashing down onto the outside and the steel rails. The ref starts counting and gets all the way up to 19 before both men get into the ring. Robinson gets White up to the top of the turnbuckle and hits a brainbuster off the top. White gets out at two. Robinson goes for a Pulp Friction but White gets Robinson in a crucifix position and throws a ton of elbows, even though Robinson was in the ropes.
White goes for Blade Runner, Robinson counters and almost hits White with the cast but stops. White eventually hits a low blow, but Robinson nails him with the left hand (the ref saw nothing as he was cowering in the corner). Robinson hits Pulp Friction and covers White, but he kicks out at two!
Back up, White takes control and Robinson gets hit with two suplexes. Robinson reverses Blade Runner into a small package and gets the three count!
Winner and NEW IWGP US Champion: Juice Robinson.
