Bullet Club (Jay White, Yujiro Takahashi and Chase Owens) vs. Jeff Cobb, Tomoaki Honma and Toa Henare

Gedo came down with Bullet Club, tricks up his sleeve, but their opposing team had Honma so there would surely be shenanigans. He opened the match with Takahashi, each man taunting the other until Honma took the early advantage with a bodyslam.

White strangled Cobb ringside with an AV cable, to no one’s surprise. Owens drove most of his joints into Honma’s body before tagging White in. Honma absorbed loads of Bullet Club damage before rallying against Owens, applying his Kokeshi move before doing the same to White.

Cobb took over for Honma, nearly pinning White. Takahashi attempted to interfere and Cobb happily threw him out of the ring. White tagged Owens into the fight, but Cobb suplexed Owens and Takahashi at the same time! Henare showed Owens how hard he can fight and how often he can fight back.

Owens failed to pin him until he pulled out a package piledriver. Bullet Club’s win happened cleanly in the middle of the ring was almost an anomaly without massive cheating.

Results: Bullet Club (Jay White, Yujiro Takahashi and Chase Owens) def. Jeff Cobb, Tomoaki Honma and Toa Henare via pinfall


Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito, Shingo Takagi and BUSHI) vs. Tomohiro Ishii, YOSHI-HASHI and Ren Narita

BUSHI’s mask was excellent, and it was the focus of the LIJ members. Takagi and YOSHI-HASHI bounced off of the ropes into each other before trading elbows. YH’s offense began to get dirty, but LIJ came to Takagi’s rescue.

BUSHI tagged in to tenderize YH before Takaga returned. YH persevered and Ishii tagged in. He fought Naito into the corner but Naito rallied, delivering a neckbreaker and dropkick to take Ishii down a notch. BUSHI attempted a neckbreaker as well but was DDT’d instead.

Young lion Narita came in hot against BUSHI, pushing him into a submission hold that BUSHI had to fight to break. The men grappled until the rest of the fighters scrambled in. BUSHI nearly took down Narita after a quick tag by Naito, but he waited until he’d succeeded at his finisher, the MX, to pin him.

Ishii and Naito faced each other down, leaving a trail of ring attendants as they went. Those poor young lions!

Results: Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito, Shingo Takagi and BUSHI) def. Tomohiro Ishii, YOSHI-HASHI and Ren Narita via pinfall
