#6. Bullet Club (Cody, Hangman Page, and Marty Scurll) vs Rey Mysterio, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Jushin ‘Thunder’ Liger
In what was Rey Mysterio’s first match in an NJPW ring, this Legends vs Bullet Club was certainly worth all the hype, as all six men put up a fun tag team match. Mysterio, who without a doubt was the star of this contest and already seems to be very popular among the Japanese crowd as well.
In the closing stages of the bout, Mysterio hit a Double 619 on Page and Scurll, which was followed up by a Slingblade from Tanahashi as all four men seemingly took the action to the outside of the ring. Meanwhile, back in the ring, Liger looked to seal the win with Brainbuster on Cody, only for ‘The American Nightmare’ to counter it with the Cross Rhodes, allowing him to pick up a huge win for The Bullet Club.
This also seemingly could set up a few potential singles matches for the future between the likes of Scurll and Mysterio or Page and Tanahashi.
Result: Bullet Club def. Rey Mysterio, Jushin ‘Thunder’ Liger, and Hiroshi Tanahashi.
#7. Hiromu Takahashi vs Will Ospreay- IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship
Following his recent Best of Super Juniors success and a stellar match against Taiji Ishimori, LIJ member Hiromu Takahashi was on the verge of becoming a two-time IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion.
‘The Ticking Time Bomb’ subsequently continued his rise to the top on NJPW’s Jr. Heavyweight Division, when he pinned ‘The Aerial Assassin’ with the Time Bomb in order to reunite with ‘Mr. Belt’ and become a two-time IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion.
Another amazing match in the Jr. Heavyweight Division, that saw the end of Will Ospreay’s amazing run as Jr. Heavyweight Champion and in doing, CHAOS suffered yet another loss on the evening, without a single win on the night so far.
Result: Hiromu Takahashi def. Will Ospreay
