10-Man Tag Team Match
Shota Umino, Boltin Oleg, Mistico, El Desperado, & Toru Yano vs. HOUSE OF TORTURE (Ren Narita, SANADA, DOUKI, SHO, & Dick Togo)

Oleg easily survived the obligatory House of Torture assault, using DOUKI to clobber Narita and Togo, before giving him an Oleg Shake. Togo stripped a tunbuckle pad from its corner to swing on Desperado. SHO and Narita staggered to the spingboard elbows Mistico employed. House of Torture ran a train on Umino, following up with their patented Dick-to-Dick Contact. Umino rebounded with a dropkick to Togo; Despereado and Mistico leveled the rest of the opposing faction with a dive over the top rope. Slamming Togo with a Second Chapter, Umino won the match for his allies.

Winner: Shota Umino, Boltin Oleg, Mistico, El Desperado, & Toru Yano via Pinfall.

Six-Man Tag Team Match
YOH, Ryusuke Taguchi, & Master Wato vs. Unbound Co. (Taiji Ishimori, Robbie X, & Gedo)

Robbie’s chase for YOH early in the match culminated in a pele kick to lend Unbound Co. an early advantage. Wato struck Ishimori with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker before flattening Gedo with a Flying Uppercut, resulting in a surprisingly quick win.

Winner: YOH, Ryusuke Taguchi, & Master Wato via Pinfall.

Six-Man Tag Team Match
Unbound Co. (Knockout Bros. (Yuto-Ice & OSKAR) & Daiki Nagai) vs. United Empire (HENARE, Great-O-Khan, & Zane Jay)

Chaos immediately erupted as both teams took things outside. Ice hurled HENARE into rows of chairs while OSKAR wrangled Khan in the ring. The German’s leg wavered as he struggled to drop Khan, allowing an opening to OSKAR’s weak knee. Jay had no qualms in exploiting this flaw, stomping at it with reckless abandon. HENARE took it further beyond just the knee—stomps to the midsection tenderized the giant European.

Nagai sprinted into action, battering Khan with an explosive dropkick. HENARE tried using his size on Nagai, who escaped using a Basement Dropkick. Ice missed a Bomboclat on HENARE, yet secured a firm right forearm strike to the head. Jay swung a comeback with a Fallaway Slam to Ice. Nagai equalized HENARE with a dive. Ice finished off Jay with a Bombclat.

Winner: Unbound Co. via Pinfall.

Post-match: HENAREA and Khan ambushed OSKAR and Ice with chairs. OSKAR’s knee made him unreliable to overcome United Empire, but he and Ice laid them flat regardless. Ice took to the microphone to issue a challenge to anyone, even from other promotions.

Aaron Wolf & Taichi vs. TMDK (Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa)

In an opening that saw several nearfalls, Oiwa slipped in a Schoolboy on Taichi. Wolf and Sabre traded multiple submissions that devolved into a chopfest. Oiwa toppled Wolf via a Senton, later suffering an armdrag. Taichi wounded Oiwa with a Buzzsaw Kick and then removed his pants. Sabre reunited with Wolf, dropping the former judoka with a Sabre Driver.

Taichi executed a Dangerous Backdrop, leading to an Axe Bomber. Oiwa held a vicelike grasp on Taichi by way of a side headlock. When that didn’t work, he thundered past with The Grip, decapitating his foe for the pinfall.

Winner: TMDK via Pinfall.

Jeff Cobb vs. Callum Newman

Cobb’s size immediately put Newman in his paces, particularly with one finely performed dropkick. Outside, the Hawaiian flung the United Empire leader into the steel barricades. Newman bounced back, ping-ponging Cobb to the guardrails to the apron. Amid the crowd, Newman dropkicked Cobb into a sea of chairs. Cobb threw a Young Lion into Newman, and Newman onto the apron.

A Gachimuchi-Sault later, Cobb found himself flat when Newman swung a comeback with his tender knee’s strike. Each man traded German suplexes, broken by Newman’s Kiss the Crown. Newman signaled for Make Way, to which Cobb countered with an F-5000. Using a downed referee as a distraction, Newman snuck a low blow and a Make Way, granting him a pinfall victory.

Winner: Callum Newman via Pinfall.

NJPW World Television Championship
Shun Skywalker vs. Konosuke Takeshita (c)

Off to the races these two went; Skywalker kicked Takeshita out of the ring and into the blue barricades outside. In return, Takeshita did much of the same. Skywalker wrenched control with a Boston Crab. A corkscrew uppercut and tope con hilo dazed Skywalker as Takeshita found new wind. Skywalker’s Sidewinder Urinage rattled Takeshita; a Blue Thunderbomb quickly returned favor of the match to The Alpha.

Ren Narita distracted Takeshita and Referee Kenta Sato, thus allowing Skywalker to blind his opponent. Skywalker pulled out a Skyfall and another to no avail. However, one more Skyfall did the trick, crowning him the new NJPW World Television Champion.

Winner: Shun Skywalker via Pinfall to become the new NJPW World Television Champion.

Post-match: The rest of House of Torture swarmed like vultures around Takeshita, stomping him out. Aaron Wolf would be that difference maker; he parted them much like Moses to the Red Sea.

Shingo Takagi vs. Claudio Castagnoli

Castagnoli wasted no breath as he ambushed Takagi before the bell, mid-entrance. Akin to a dart, Castagnoli threw Takagi to the apron and the barricades. The Swiss wrestler left Takagi for dead after a slam to the entrance ramp. A vertical suplex made things less easy for The Last Dragon. Takagi avoided a Giant Swing, yet had to slip to a rope break so he could break Castagnoli’s crossface.

Takagi elbowed Castagnoli’s collarbone and struck a lariat. Castagnoli got back up for a destructive European Uppercut. Devastating Takagi with a Gutwrench Superplex from the top rope, Castagnoli booted him outside to the guardrails. Takagi’s Made in Japan gifted him with momentum while adding an opening for elbow strikes. A Giant Swing and a stiff lariat snatched that momentum away. Takagi unloaded finishers and signature moves on Castagnoli, the decisive one to send him packing was The Last of the Dragon for the pinfall.

Winner: Shingo Takagi via Pinfall.

IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship
Drilla Moloney vs. Gabe Kidd (c)

Moloney got under Kidd’s skin by coolly reacting to the Death Rider’s moves. Kidd tried luring him outside; Moloney wouldn’t oblige. Eventually the action did spill out, though, and Kidd relished thrashing Moloney onto a table. They bickered about their place in NJPW and AEW as they engaged in chops and forearms. Moloney rerouted Kidd’s lariat into a Death Valley Driver.

Kidd secured a comeback with a sit-out powerbomb. Moloney recovered with a Sling Blade and an elbow drop. Kidd scrambled Moloney’s noggin with a Brainbuster. Enduring Kidd’s many chops, Moloney Gored him, added a powerbomb, and employed another Gore, punctuated by a Drilla Killa. During Moloney’s onslaught, the Drilla Killa incapacitated the referee. Kidd happily took this pregnant wait for a referee by swinging his IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship. Referee Marty Asami slid into the ring to count Moloney’s pin following another Drilla Killa; Kidd’s fingers were directly under the bottom rope, breaking the pin.

A Piledriver wrecked Moloney. Three Tombstone Piledrivers later, Kidd still couldn’t get the win. An emotional finality hung in the air, as Kidd spiked Moloney with a Fisherman Buster to end the match, retaining his title.

Winner: Gabe Kidd via Pinfall to retain the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship.

Post-match: Kidd declared that he wouldn’t return to NJPW for the rest of 2026, that his next defense will be at Wrestle Kingdom 21 in the Tokyo Dome unless someone were to challenge him. Shota Umino stood at the entrance. Kidd taunted him for his G1 Climax injury and decried his “lack of initiative”. Umino retorted that Kidd was no real champion and that he’d take it from him. They brawled, with Umino swinging Kidd down with his right arm.

IWGP Heavyweight Championship
Hirooki Goto vs. Yota Tsuji (c)

Goto picked up steam out from the smoke of a tense, prolonged lockup, capitalizing with a shoulder tackle. Outside, they propelled each other into the innocent steel barricades. Tsuji caught Goto mid-spring, pulling him in for a Backbreaker. The champion sank in a Boston Crab. Goto surged back with a lariat. The ever-so handy Curb Stomp placed Tsuji back into control.

Following Goto’s GTR, he and Tsuji collided in a simultaneous clothesline. A Marlowe Stomp by Tsuji left Goto wincing in agony. On the ring post, Goto pulled out a Kaiten. Tsuji tried an inside cradle, to which Goto repaid in kind with a lariat. Tsuji shot Goto with two consecutive Gene Blasters. Desperate, Tsuji pulled out Ultimo Guerrero’s Guerrero Especial. Goto’s Spinning Heel Kick blocked another Gene Blaster.

Punching Tsuji mid-Gene Blaster, Goto plummeted him with a Shoten Kai. Two Fire Blasters later, and Tsuji retained his title over Street Fighter star.

Winner: Yota Tsuji via Pinfall.

Post-match: Tsuji and Oiwa greeted each other. Tsuji told Oiwa that if he was confident in his new wrestling style, to see if it would be enough to defeat him.
