Hiroshi Tanahashi, KENTA, Clark Connors & Karl Fredericks vs. Suzuki-gun (Lance Archer, Zack Sabre Jr., Minoru Suzuki & Yoshinobu Kanemaru)
Suzuki-gun used their unified front to intimidate their opponents before they even had a chance to see them, and Sabre Jr. took Tanahashi on before the bell. Archer and KENTA traded kicks before KENTA chose not to tag Tanahashi in, choosing the American young lion instead. Suzuki’s stiff strikes took him to his knees.
The members of Suzuki-gun hauled their opponents out of the ring and into the barricades and chairs, but they couldn’t keep their opponents from finding their way back to the ring. Archer joined the announce team for a few minutes before Sabre Jr. let his arrogant style lead into the first of many creative holds.
The action was underscored by the story of respect between Tanahashi and KENTA, who are showing they can be on the same page but they don’t respect the other man’s reputation. Kanemaru pinned Connors against the backdrop of Archer, Sabre Jr., and Suzuki locking the rest of their opponents in brutal holds.
In defeat, KENTA and Tanahashi took their next steps together.
Result: Suzuki-gun (Lance Archer, Zack Sabre Jr., Minoru Suzuki & Yoshinobu Kanemaru) def. Hiroshi Tanahashi, KENTA, Clark Connors & Karl Fredericks via pinfall.
CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada & YOSHI-HASHI) vs. Bullet Club (Chase Owens & Bad Luck Fale)
Owens and YOSHI-HASHI took each on, leaving Fale to strangle Okada with audio cables. Owens and Fale walked all over YOSHI-HASHI to keep him from tagging out. A sliding kick to Fale’s knee gave YOSHI-HASHI the opening to tag the Rainmaker in.
The CHAOS member’s DDT signaled his enthusiastic offense against Fale, and his work against Owens gave YOSHI-HASHI a chance to get revenge on Fale. Okada treated Owens to his Rainmaker finisher and pinned him for the 3-count.
Result: CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada & YOSHI-HASHI) def. Bullet Club (Chase Owens & Bad Luck Fale) via pinfall
