BULLET CLUB War Dogs (Taiji Ishimori, Chase Owens, Clark Connors & Drilla Moloney) vs. HOUSE OF TORTURE (SANADA, Ren Narita, Yujiro Takahashi & Don Fale)

SANADA emerged during House of Torture’s entrance looking like Giant Gonzalez; however, it was new House of Torture member Fale who stole the limelight to Owens’s chagrin. He leveled him out, in addition to Moloney. Takahashi held some of the War Dogs at bay, but Ishimori fought back, nailing it with an enzigiri to Takahashi. Fale handled Moloney on the outside despite Owens’s pleas and questionings. Connors trounced Fale with a tire, proceeding to Jeep Flip Takahashi.

Moloney executed a tight Spinebuster on SANADA, who countered with a Magic Screw off of the top rope. Moloney attempted to aid Owens to finish off SANADA with a guitar shot. Owens then hit Moloney with a low blow to the shock of Osaka. SANADA finished off Moloney with a guitar shot for the win.

Winner: HOUSE OF TORTURE via Pinfall.

Chase Owens joins Bad Luck Fale as a member of House of Torture.

El Phantasmo & Shota Umino vs. TMDK (Ryohei Oiwa & Zack Sabre Jr.)

Umino and Oiwa locked up into a stalemate, whereas continued Sabre controlled Phantasmo to ground his otherwise dynamic, well-rounded style. Oiwa joined his teammate in targeting Phantasmo’s limbs like they were playing musical chairs. Umino blasted into his hot tag with a fiery comeback that toppled Sabre with a Tornado-DDT. Phantasmo saved Umino from a united front by Oiwa and Sabre, nearly capitalized with a Moonsault.

A desperate Oiwa reached for a Doctor Bomb, which failed to secure the pin on Phantasmo. TMDK wore down their opponents with sleeper holds, yet ultimately staggered to synchronized enziguris from their foes. Umino and Sabre exchanged multiple pin variations with Sabre succeeding a final one in a flash for the victory.

Winner: TMDK via Pinfall.

Hiroshi Tanahashi Final Road Connection Match
Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Yuya Uemura

The match saw Tanahashi’s technique being seasoned to test Uemura, but not fast enough to keep up. Uemura worked the arm of The Ace, yet incurred the shock of a Flying Crossbody and Back Body Drop with a middle-rope Senton for extra measure. Uemura countered a Sling Blade into an attempted Deadbolt Suplex, but dropped from Tanahashi’s Dragon Screw Leg Whip. A successful Sling Blade teetered the match in Tanahashi’s favor.

Tanahashi baited Uemura into rage, with Uemura temporarily tiring out from a stiff exchange. He dove for Tanahashi but landed on his elbow, weakening it. Tanahashi stopped Uemura with a Dragon Suplex. The Ace almost succumbed to a juji-gatame, had he not wisely leveraged the weight of the two to sneak a pinfall.

Winner: Hiroshi Tanahashi via Pinfall.

IWGP Junior Tag Team Championship
HOUSE OF TORTURE (DOUKI & SHO) vs. Master Wato & YOH (c)

Prior to the bell, SHO blamed Wato for the injury suffered by advertised partener Yoshinobu Kanemaru before revealing his new partner, a returning Douki. The pair immediately dispatched YOH on the outside. SHO set Douki up for a Basement Dropkick to Wato as he held up the champion’s legs. Kanemaru revealed his injury was a ruse when he chopped Wato in the crotch from the top rope before wrapping up his arm again. Wato, distressed, crawled for a rope break during a nasty Single-Leg Crab courtesy of Douki.

He and SHO continued wearing down the lonesome Wato before they dropped to his double-clothesline. YOH made the hot tag, unloading on SHO with aerial maneuvers. Wato delivered a plancha to Douki, dazing him enough to slingshot him into the barricade. Kanemaru swung with his whiskey obttle and SHO with a screwdriver but missed the champions and hit each other. Douki leveled the playing field, swinging a pipe on Wato after Kanemaru spat whiskey in YOH’s face. Douki secured Wato’s arm and knee into a hold that strained both to tap him out as SHO forced YOH to watch.

Winner: House of Torture via Submission to become the new IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions.

IWGP Tag Team Championship
Taichi & Tomohiro Ishii vs. United Empire (Callum Newman & Great-O-Khan) (c)

Newman exploded onto Taichi, overwhelming him with the quickness. Khan furthered the punishment, with a Big Sit to pour salt in the wound. Ishii barreled in with the tag, blasting through Khan and Newman, emphatically dropping the former with a vertical suplex. Khan used Ishii’s own momentum against him; he flipped the challenger over for an arm hold.

Taichi endured Newman’s flurry of attacks, grabbing a comeback with a lariat and excitedly throwing off his longer pants to reveal his short trunks. Building up to an attack, Taichi fell instead to Khan, who booted Ishii in the face when he tried to make the save. This set up Newman for a Shotgun Knee to plummet Taichi to the outside. Khan sacrificed himself to take Ishii out on the outside, leading Newman to a Spanish Fly on Taichi. Khan’s efforts were thwarted, however, as Ishii rescued Taichi. With that, Taichi sent Newman to the mat with a Black Mephisto for the win.

Winner: Taichi & Tomohiro Ishii via Pinfall to become the new IWGP Tag Team Champions.

NEVER Openweight Championship
Boltin Oleg vs. Konosuke Takeshita (c)

LIke two rampaging bulls, champion and challenger clashed, with Boltin’s force dropping Takeshita, who returned the favor and followed up with a top rope dive. Takeshita threw everything into battering Boltin, but eventually was caught over the Kazakh wrestler’s shoulders, who sent him flying to the entrance ramp. Takeshita unleashed a loud, resonant forearm to Boltin at the top of the ramp. The champion was sent tumbling down the sloping entrance after a brief Boltin Shake.

Barely making it to the ring, Takeshita withstood a Boltin Bomb, regaining control with a Blue Thunderbomb transitioned into a Boston Crab. Boltin maintained his resilience, pulling Takeshita from the top rope and dropping him over the shoulder to the mat. Takeshita tried choking him out, but the Osaka crowd gave him the will to flip Takeshita on his back. The pair matched lariat for lariat twice, with Boltin left standing each time. Boltin trounced Takeshita with a Kamikaze for his first NJPW title win, the first Kazakhstan champion in the Japanese promotion.

Winner: Boltin Oleg via Pinfall to become the new NEVER Openweight Champion.

Dog Collar Chain Deathmatch
David Finlay vs. EVIL

Each man wrangled with the dog collar chain with utmost trepidation. Finlay made the first move, yanking EVIL in for a torrential rainfall of fists anywhere he could ground or corner him. The War Dog wrapped EVIL’s side of the chain onto a ring post to first choke him, then batter him with forearms. The leader of the House of Torture then fell over the top rope, with Finlay hanging him. As the House of Torture swarmed upon Finlay, the War Dogs came to their leader’s aid.

Meanwhile, SHO removed the turnbuckle pads from each side of the ring. Out in the crowd, EVIL whacked Finlay with the steel chain, bloodying his forehead and gagging him with the sheer steel. EVIL perched Finlay upside down on one exposed corner, and distracted referee Marty Asami while his stablemates choked Finlay with the chain. Finlay reached some reprieve through sending the chain into EVIL’s groin, where he proceeded to batter him with the metal.

The War Dog then threw the House of Torture landlord to the outside in a powerbomb that laid out his stablemates. EVIL earned his salvation after being left tied to a ring post when he yanked Finlay into the post, and again, in an attempt that saw his head through a chair. Hoisting his opponent back into the ring, EVIL swing the chain onto Finlay’s beaten flesh. Finlay deployed Oblivion with his knee adorned in the chain and a series of powerbombs wore EVIL down. Just as Finlay choked EVIL with the chain, EVIL did the same to Marty Asami. House of Torture attempted to interfere, but the War Dogs came to his side. EVIL removed his collar, threw a table at Finlay, and rejoiced as Don Fale dropped onto Finlay on that same table. With his Darkness Scorpion hold assisted with the chain, EVIL choked Finlay into complete unconsciousness.

Winner: EVIL via Referee Stoppage.

IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship
Gabe Kidd vs. Yota Tsuji (c)

Tsuji soared out of the ring to topple Kidd after a brawl sent him tumbling. The pair exchanged hands, almost ending in a double-countout avoided at the last second. Kidd and Tsuji engaged in a stiff series of punches, the latter suprising with a shot to the liver. The War Dog earned a breather after sending Tsuji out, greeting him with a lariat upon re-entry. A comeback swung to Tsuji’s favor after a superkick sent Kidd to the mat.

Dangling Tsuji to the top rope, Kidd overshot a senton that knocked both men’s head in a frightening manner. Tsuji staggered Kidd with a tope suicida, who fired back with a Tombstine Piledriver on the outside. Evoking Claudio Castagnoli’s Swing, Kidd sank in a deep, deep Boston Crab. Tsuji mustered enough spirit to cause a rope break. The champion traded chops with the challenger, with one echoing with a heavy wince. Kidd withstood two Gene Blasters before destroying Tsuji with a Death Rider to become the new champion.

Winner: Gabe Kidd via Pinfall to become the new IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion.

Post-match: Kidd gave Tsuji his props before directing his attention to Hiroshi Tanahashi, opening the ropes as a sign of respect. He then challenged The Ace to a match in the near future.

IWGP World Heavyweight Championship
Shingo Takagi vs. Hirooki Goto (c)

These beefy warriors clashed with collisions and chops in a deafening cacophony of flesh on flesh. Goto shoulder tackled Takagi so hard that he had to get a moment to recover his bearings and patience. Takagi fired back with a Tornado-DDT and a lariat to scramble Goto towards the outside. Takagi, unrelenting, suplexed Goto at the ramp and dropped a standing Senton to the weakened champion’s back. Adrenaline coursed through Goto’s veins as he caught up with Takagi enough to topple him with a lariat. Goto devastated Takagi, sending him to the outside where he broke the 20-count at 18. He evaded a GTR but ate a merciless lariat.

Takagi mounted an offense with a lariat and got some hits in, but was left rattled by an Ushigoroshi. Goto hit a GTW and relied on a GTR to no avail. Takagi was inches away from a new title with a Last of the Dragon but failed. He tried again with a Pumping Bomber and Burning Dragon. The pair battled, a seesaw of finisher attempts that saw Goto drop Takagi with a Shouten Kai. With a soul on fire, Goto ate a lariat like it was candy but collapsed to a Sliding Pumpkin Bomber to his back. After an unsuccessful GTR, Goto chipped away at Takagi as the 30-minute count ticked closer and closer. Goto ultimately retained his championship after one last GTR.

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