#4 CHAOS (Jay White, Toru Yano, Tomohiro Ishii, Hirooki Goto and YOSHI-HASHI) defeated Juice Robinson, David Finlay, Toa Henare, Michael Elgin and Togi Makabe

This was another fun tag team match, with IWGP US Champion Jay White being one of the standout performers of the contest as usual, along with Juice Robinson — who received a solid crowd reaction thanks to his amazing offence.

Eventually, the match came down to White and Henare, and the former pinned the Kiwi superstar via the Bladerunner to pick up the win for CHAOS.

Result: CHAOS def. Juice Robinson, David Finlay, Toa Henare, Michael Elgin and Togi Makabe


#5 Bullet Club (The Young Bucks and Marty Scurll) vs (Bad Luck Fale and the Guerrillas of Destiny)- (Never Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Championships)

On the fifth anniversary of the Bullet Club, we were once again treated to a Bullet Club vs Bullet Club match, as The Bucks along with ‘The Villain’ looked to capture the Six-man tag titles.

Both teams started off the match with an obligatory handshake following which Matt and Nick Jackson did their usual high flying moves and displayed some fast-paced offense. In the closing stages of the match, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa hit a Magic Killer on Matt Jackson, which was followed up by a splash from Fale, only for Matt to kick out at two.

Brother Nick then quickly stepped in as the Jackson boys gained the upper hand, hitting the More Bang For Your Buck on Tanga Loa to pick up the win and claim the Never Openweight Six-Man Tag Titles. The former champions then grabbed the titles and handed it over to The Young Bucks and Marty Scurll as a sign of respect, probably indicating towards the fact that the Bullet Club is indeed fine.

Result: Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, and Marty def. Bad Luck Fale, Tama Tonga, and Tanga Loa to win the Never Openweight Six-man Tag Team Titles.


#6 Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito, EVIL, SANADA, Hiromu Takahashi and BUSHI) vs Suzuki Gun (Minoru Suzuki, Zack Sabre Jr., Taka Michinoku, El Desperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru)

Suzuki Gun started off this match in typical Suzuki Gun fashion, as they ignited an outside brawl much like every other Suzuki Gun tag team match. Having recently lost the IWGP IC Title to Naito, Minoru Suzuki was not in a good mood and the two men immediately got going, as did the rest of the members of both factions along with Zack Sabre Jr. LIJ eventually started to make a comeback into the match as Sanada and Hiromu cleaned house along with Evil, who scored the victory pin over Kanemaru.

Following the match, we got more of The Young Bucks as they came out and issued a challenge to Evil and Sanada for the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships. Before the champions could respond, both Matt and Nick hit a Superkick on the LIJ members and immediately retreated as the rest of the LIJ proceeded to beatdown The Bucks.

Shortly afterward, Evil took to the microphone and officially accepted the challenge.

Result: Los Ingobernables de Japon def. Suzuki Gun
