Korakuen Hall, Tokyo
Commentary is in Japanese.
Match 1: Karl Fredericks and Hirooki Goto vs. Mikey Nicholls and Jeff Cobb
Nicholls pinned Fredericks with a spinning sit down powerbomb. Goto and Fredericks leave ringside and KENTA attacks Goto. KENTA throws Goto in the ring and blasts him in the face with a Psycho Knee. Goto is out cold. KENTA mocks Goto with his own finger pose.
I would expect a match for the NEVER Openweight Championship at Wrestle Kingdom between KENTA and Goto to be announced soon.
Match 2: Manabu Nakanishi and Yuji Nagata vs. Colt Cabana and Toru Yano
Cabana pinned Nakanishi with the Superman roll up.
Match 3: Satoshi Kojima and Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs. Taichi and Zack Sabre Jr.
Fun and stiff match! The end happened when Taichi hit Tenzan with a low blow and nailed him with Black Mephisto. ZSJ got the pin on Tenzan. Taichi hit both Kojima and Tenzan with his mic stand after the match.
Match 4: David Finlay and Juice Robinson vs. Chase Owens and Bad Luck Fale
Finlay rolls up Owens for a pinfall win.
Match 5: Toa Henare and Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Yujiro Takahashi, with Pieter and KENTA
KENTA pinned Henare with a Go To Sleep.
Hirooki Goto attacks both Takahashi and KENTA. Bullet Club tries to escape but Goto grabs KENTA and they fight around the ringside area and back to the locker room.
Match 6: SHO, YOH and Kazuchika Okada vs. Yota Tsuji, Yuya Uemura and Kota Ibushi
YOH pinned Tsuji with a Falcon Arrow.
Okada took the mic and taunted Ibushi. Ibushi jumped to the top rope for a drop kick. Okada fell to the mat. Ibushi jumped down and took the mic. He taunted Okada back and left the ring.
Match 7: Tomoaki Honma and Togi Makabe vs. Tanga Loa and Tama Tonga, with Jado
Tanga Loa forces Honma to submit to a crossface.
Match 8: YOSHI-HASHI and Tomohiro Ishii vs. SANADA and EVIL
Awesome main event! So many close falls and two counts. SANADA locked Cold Skull on YOSHI-HASHI. EVIL hits Everything is Evil on Ishii and locked a scorpion deathlock to prevent him from helping his partner. YOSHI-HASHI tapped out. Los Ingobernales de Japon gets the win!
Juice/Finlay and SANADA/EVIL share the lead with 16 points
Guerrillas of Destiny, Cabana/Yano, YOSHI-HASHI/Ishii follow with 14 points.
