Pre-show
Katsuya Murashima & Ryusuke Taguchi vs. Jet Wei & Hitamaru Saksaki

Sasaki and Taguchi may have wrestled to a stalemate, but Wei had to reach for Sasaki as Murashima was too much, even with his marks of war. Taguchi attempted to make the save for a worn Murashima, but Sasaki sent him flying into his partner. The wily veteran Taguchi made a comeback for his team, sending hip attacks to both Sasaki and Wei. Taguchi won the match with an ankle hold on a helpless Wei.

Winner: Katsuya Murashima & Ryusuke Taguchi via Submission.

Sasaki and Murashima bowed on the outside. The Kyushu wrestler then refused to shake Taguchi’s hand.

Batten Blabla & Mentai Kid vs. BULLET CLUB War Dogs (Gedo & Taiji Ishimori)

Kid’s offense immediately exhausted Ishimori, while Blabla’s antics confused him and Gedo. Despite the comedic hijinks, Blabla faced the vicious bites of the War Dogs. Kid nearly made a save with the Mentai Splash. Ishimori finished off Blabla with a Gedo Clutch as a pin for the 3-count.

Winner: Gedo & Taiji Ishimori via Pinfall.

Master Wato & YOSHI-HASHI vs. United Empire (Jakob Austin Young & Great-O-Khan)

YOSHI-HASHI had been incapacitated near the start, leaving United Empire (notably Khan) to weaken him with knees and kicks. Khan sat on Wato, adding his immense weight while Young worked on the junior heavyweight’s arm. The wide spread of tools under Khan’s collection proved cumbersome for YOSHI-HASHI, particularly the Iron Claw, but a surprise DDT saved him. Wato resisted Young’s German Suplex, countering with his own patented Tsutenkaku German Suplex.

Winner: Master Wato & YOSHI-HASHI via Pinfall.

Stardom Showcase Match
Fukuoka W Crazy (Hazuki & Koguma) & Maika vs. Neo Genesis (Starlight Kid & AZM) & Yuna Mizumori

Koguma started off against Kid, carefully dictating her slower pace to counter her masked opponent’s high speed. Mizumori writhed and crawled after STARS centered their focus on her. The colorful wrestler fought back with some kicks and even a dropkick of her own. AZM and Kid combined their quick offense to tenderize Maika and Koguma.

Maika planted AZM in the center of the ring with a vertical suplex. Mizumori combined her comeback with Kid and AZM for a synchronized Dropkick. Hazuki and Koguma flew over the top rope to knacker all of their opponents and drag Mizumori into the ring. Hazuki won the match with a Brainbuster over Mizumori.

Winner: Fukuoka W Crazy & Maika via Pinfall.

Boltin Oleg & El Phantasmo vs. Don Callis Family (Konosuke Takeshita & Rocky Romero)

Resuming last nigh’ts war of attrition, Takeshita avoided every single move Phantasmo could think of. The pair then moved onto dismantling Boltin. Romero sought to use his agility to take down Boltin, who thendizzied them by the Boltin Shake. Boltin dropped Romero on the mat during a Kamikaze, thus winning the match for he and Phantasmo.

Winner: Boltin Oleg & El Phantasmo via Pinfall.

TAJIRI, Ryota Chikuzen, YOH, Toru Yano, & Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. TMDK (Hartley Jackson, Kosei Fujita, Robbie Eagles, Ryohei Oiwa, & Zack Sabre Jr.)

TAJIRI and Sabre in a rare instance locked up, with the legend calmly and immediately powering out of the Brit’s holds and submissions. Eagles and YOH fired like cannons, with the former taking advantage of Fujita’s in-ring assistance. Yano opened the turnbuckle, aiming to send the junior heavyweights into it, instead receiving harsh opposition by Jackson.

Chikuzen blasted Oiwa with chops, eventually knocking him down with the alliance with Tanahashi. Jackson splashed heavily into the corner Tanahashi lay dazed at, followed with a fierce lariat. TAJIRI hit Jackson with his famous green mist, leaviding Tanahashi to end the match courtesy of a High-Fly Flow.

Winner: TAJIRI, Ryota Chikuzen, YOH, Toru Yano, & Hiroshi Tanahashi via Pinfall.

Just Four Guys (TAKA Michinoku & Taichi), Tomohiro Ishii, & Shota Umino vs. Los Ingobernables De Japon (BUSHI, Hiromu Takahashi, Tetsuya Naito, & Shingo Takagi)

Taichi suffered the brunt of the offense at first, bu Ishii moved lik a madman, especially to Takahashi with a Dangerous Driver. Naito made a hot tag, sending Taichi out with a Destino. Los Ingobernables de Japon trapped Michinoku alone and all combined for a dropkick. Naito unleashed a Destino again on Taichi, meanwhile BUSHI flew like a heat-seeking missle to Umino on the outside. Takagi finished the match for his team via a Last of the Dragon on Michinoku for the win.

Winner: Los Ingobernables De Japon via Pinfall.

IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship
Yuya Uemura vs. Yota Tsuji (c)

Champion and challenger had a staredown and a lockup twice that stretched onward. Uemura targeted Tsuji’s left arm and shoulder. Tsuji repaid in kind with Uemura’s right arm. Firmly in control, Tsuji moved from Uemura’s arm to his torso. Uemura stunned Tsuji with a Back Body Drop. Tsuji sent Umino falling to the outside with a hurricanrana and into the barricade with a tope suicida.

Unresponsive in the corner, Uemura suffered a splash from Tsuji in the corner, yet he turned it around by working the legs of Tsuji with a figure-four leglock. The moment Tsuji began powering out of the Nelson lock that Uemura had him in, the more immediate Uemura gave a reverse Canadian Destroyer.Uemura aimed for a huge Splash but he landed flat. Tsuji wrenched Uemura’s arm unforgivingly, A series of suplexes nearly takes out Takagi, as does a Backbreaker. Stealing Hiroshi Tanahashi’s High-Fly Flow, Uemura found no success in emulation. Uemura desperately reached for a Dead Drop, but Tsuji ended the match instead with a Gene Blaster, thus retaining his championship.

Winner: Yota Tsuji via Pinfall to retain the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship.

Uemura gave Tsuji his respect and departed. The rest of Los Ingobernables de Japon came out, with Tsuji kneeling in the spot Naito used to. Naito and BUSHI left, with emotion visible on their faces as the crowd called to them. Gabe Kidd then greeted Tsuji, leading to the two facing off for the championship on June 15’s Dominion event.

IWGP World Heavyweight Championship
Callum Newman vs. Hirooki Goto (c)

Goto started off strong, but Newman thwarted him on the outside with a plancha. He followed up with slingshots to the steel barricades and kicks to the back. Hitting a substantial vertical drop from the top rope, Goto worked on the shoulders of Newman. Newman reached high air with an impressive dropkick and a tope con hilo to flatten the champion. A quick battle of wits and strategy led to a simultaneous DDT on Goto and Ushigoroshi on Newman. Merciful as he tried to be, Goto kept providing forearms and elbows to Newman—until he spat in the champ’s face. For that, Goto immediately sent him to the mat.

A GTR nearly ended the match; despite Goto’s control of the match, he had issues dispatching the challenger. An Oscutter 2.0 quelled Goto’s momentum, but also left Newman weak and defenseless on the ground. Newman broke the count early, whilst Goto barely did it in time. A shock Rainmaker nearly gave Newman the pinfall, but Goto remained resilient, albeit horizontal. Another Oscutter 2.0, but Newman flipped and dropped to a Rainmaker. Goto’s Shouten Kai rendered Newman immobile in the ring, but not enough for pinfall. After two GTRs, ultimately Goto won the match.

Winner: Hirooki Goto via Pinfall to retain the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.

Zack Sabre Jr and Shingo Takagi emerged to issue their respective challenges, with Sabre having first dibs.
