Winner: Unbound Co. via Pinfall.

Post-match: Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir appeared in a pre-recorded video. Moxley announced he’d return to NJPW. He didn’t even set up a match or address anybody; he just said he’d be back. Annoyed at not even being addressed, Takagi demanded NJPW put him in a match with Moxley at the next NJPW show he attends.

Yuya Uemura, Taichi, & El Desperado vs. HOUSE OF TORTURE (SANADA, Yujiro Takahashi, & Yoshinobu Kanemaru)

SANADA and Uemura worked the other’s arms and shoulders before the former grew tired of the lock-ups. Kanemaru wrapped Desperado in a figure-four leglock. Takahashi missed Desperado with a Big Boot, giving the latter an opening for a suplex. House of Torture ran a train on Taichi. Taichi flattened Takahashi with an Axe Bomber and removed his pants. He annihilated Takahashi with a Black Mephisto to give his team the win.

Winner: Yuya Uemura, Taichi, & El Desperado via Pinfall.

Hechicero & Boltin Oleg vs TMDK (Zack Sabre Jr. & Hartley Jackson)

Hechicero asserted dominance over Sabre by removing his mask to show another mask underneath before locking up. Sabre escaped a Hammerlock and a headscissors to twist Hechicero’s ankle. Oleg dazed Jackson with the Boltin Shake; Hechicero joined him to vertically suplex the girthy Aussie. Hechicero used his legs to roll Sabre around in a circle. Oleg eluded a Jagged Edge to devastate Jackson with a Kamikaze to clinch a pinfall.

Winner: Hechicero & Boltin Oleg via Pinfall.

Konosuke Takeshita & Toru Yano vs. HOUSE OF TORTURE (Ren Narita & Shun Skywalker)

House of Torture ambushed their opponents before the bell. Takeshita had enough and threw elbows at Narita and Skywalker. Yano kept lying flat in the corner. Narita shoved Takeshita off the top rope, spilling him into the barricade. House of Torture struck Yano with a Dick-to-Dick Contact. Yano struck Narita, Dick Togo, and Skywalker with low blows. With one roll-up to Skywalker, Yano cheerfully snuck in a win.

Winner: Konosuke Takeshita & Toru Yano via Pinfall.

In-Ring: Hiroshi Tanahashi

The Ace, with his short haircut and business attire, announced that Korakuen Hall would host Tanahashi Jam 2 on November 19.

NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Championship
Unbound Co. (Knockout Bros. (OSKAR & Yuto-ICE) & Jeff Cobb) vs. United Empire (Will Ospreay, HENARE, & Great-O-Khan) (c)

Everyone brawled to start the match. Ospreay flattened Ice with a plancha. Khan used his Iron Claw to corner OSKAR and discarded him outside. Ospreay flung Cobb into the steel guardrails. Ice rescued OSKAR from Ospreay’s figure-four leglock but not from a United Empire beatdown. HENARE absorbed a chop from the giant German and crushed him via a senton. Khan ran into OSKAR’s Big Boot.

Cameras showed Callum Newman watching from afar.

Cobb single-handedly thrust Khan and HENARE backwards. Ospreay toppled Cobb with a Flying Forearm. Cobb’s elbow denied the Aerial Assassin’s Hidden Blade. A Tour of the Island detoured Ospreay’s springboard Oscutter. Ice rocked Ospreay with a Bomboclat. Ospreay crashed Ice down with a Liger Bomb. Khan dodged a running Ice, causing him to knock out the referee. Ice and Khan battled over a chair. Ospreay took advantage of the mayhem with a hurricanrana to OSKAR and an Oscutter to Cobb while refusing to use a chair Khan introduced.

Ice blocked a Hidden Blade with a knee. Khan and HENARE set Ice up for a Hidden Blade Powerbomb combo, but Cobb stopped it by pulling Ospreay’s leg. Ice slipped out of United Empire’s grasp yet again when he slipped out of the way, leading HENARE to spear Khan. OSKAR rejoined Ice to hit a KOB on HENARE. Unbound Company became the new NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Champions.

Winner: Unbound Co. via Pinfall to become the new NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champions.

Post-match: Newman and the rest of United Empire (aside from a confused Francesco Akira) ambushed the new champs. Ospreay argued with him until they left. The AEW Men’s World Champion then issued a challenge for NJPW Power Struggle for the IWGP Tag Team Championship against the Knockout Brothers. Ice told Ospreay he needed a partner, and it would be his choosing: Callum Newman.

NEVER Openweight Championship
Kosei Fujita vs. Aaron Wolf (c)

Fujita enraged Wolf with forearms to the chin and sent him back with a dropkick. Firmly in control, he swung and dropkicked Wolf across the barricades outside. Wolf slipped a comeback with a suplex and elbow drop. The champion maintained authority over Fujita with a scoop-and-slam and an arm choke.

Fujita slipped from Wolf’s grasp on the top rope to slip a bridged German suplex. Wolf bounced back from another suplex to crack Fuijta’s throat courtesy of a lariat. The challenger crashed Wolf with a vertical drop. Wolf’s Angle Slam proved ineffective, but a Northern Lights Bomb did the trick. Wolf retained his NEVER Openweight Championship.

Winner: Aaron Wolf via pinfall to retain the NEVER Openweight Championship.

IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship
Shota Umino vs. Gabe Kidd (c)

Not a second was wasted when Kidd entered the ring; he and Umino tossed each other into the barricades. Umino smashed Kidd with a Fisherman’s Suplex. Kidd swung his title against Umino, bursting his head to draw blood. Referee Marty Asami got in Kidd’s way, and for this, the Death Rider sent him into the commentary desk. The champ gloated at the disrepair of his belt as some of the letters fell off.

Kidd superplexed Umino from the top turnbuckle. Umino dropped to the floor following a nasty Brainbuster on the ring apron. Though he set up a table for his challenger, it was Umino whomst sent the champion spine-first into the unforgiving wood. Incensed at the sight of the ruined belt, Umino flung Kidd into the ring post outside. Blood trickled in streams and rivulets across Kidd’s skin thanks to the table. Umino superplexed Kidd. A mad frenzy saw these two collide with lariats, German suplexes, and headbutts.

Umino survived a suplex and a lariat. Kidd responded with a lariat of his own. Paying homage to PAC, Kidd locked in a Brutalizer; Umino reversed it with an STF. Umino and Kidd exchanged inside cradles and lariats. Kidd dropped Umino with a piledriver. Kidd reduced Umino’s title aspirations to ash as he stole his Second Chapter finisher to retain his gold.

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

Post-match: Furious at the lack of fighting spirit in NJPW’s roster, Kidd asked who dared to step up to him. Whoever it would be, they’d have to face him at Wrestle Kingdom in the Tokyo Dome. Taichi walked into the ring, accepting the challenge. Instead of Wrestle Kingdom, the belt changed dates to November’s Power Struggle.

IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship
Robbie Eagles vs. YOH (c)

Eagles got the drop on YOH, culminating in a punt to the champion’s back. YOH bounced back, securing an Anaconda Vice. The challenger rebounded with a superkick. Applying a Hammerlock wristlock, Eagles sent YOH to the ropes and kicked him back, punctuating the sequence with a springboard dropkick. YOH flung Eagles back with a German suplex.

Eagles swung a comeback as he sent YOH thudding with a Turbo Backpack. YOH escaped Eagles’s offense, retaining his title with a Five Star Clutch.

Winner: YOH via Pinfall to retain the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.

IWGP Heavyweight Championship
Ryohei Oiwa vs. Yuta Tsuji (c)

Oiwa started confident, grounding Tsuji with a headscissors hold. He maintained full control with deep arm drags. Tsuji chased him to the apron, where Oiwa sank in a side headlock. The champion broke out of Oiwa’s clutches, firing him off to the barricade before employing a backbreaker. A Gene Blaster rendered Oiwa prone in agony for 19 seconds, nearly causing a count-out. Another backbreaker by Tsuji followed.

Staying on Oiwa’s core, Tsuji punctured his midsection with a Marlowe Crash. Tsuji brought up his knees at the last second to reject Oiwa’s Splash. Oiwa withstood a Curb Stomp to unleash a Tenzan Suplex. Resuming his grounded approach, Oiwa twisted Tsuji’s arm and clasped in a headlock. The champion’s Tsuji-cita returned him in charge as did another Marlowe Crash. Oiwa baited him with multiple Gene Blaster attempts to gain waist control with a German suplex. A Doctor Bomb from the challenger countered yet another Gene Blaster.

The many shots to Oiwa’s guts wore heavily on him, as he staggered and clutched his stomach. A Gene Blaster threatened to make it worse. Tsuji pulled in a deep Boston Crab, which Oiwa somehow reversed into a Big Rock. Tsuji tried a side suplex, but couldn’t break the hold. A Tenzan Suplex and Zack Driver grounded a newly freed Tsuji. The Grip fully blocked a Gene Blaster. One final Gene Blaster did the trick. Tsuji retained his IWGP Heavyweight Championship.

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

Post-match: Tsuji thanked Oiwa for a great match and warmly invited him to try again in the future. He ended things by stating he would continue to carry the IWGP Heavyweight Championship gold into the future. The arena darkened, and on the screen, Kenny Omega besmirched Tsuji’s reluctance to defend his title overseas. The Best Bout Machine issued a challenge to Tsuji, instructing him to call his people.

Tsuji seemed to accept these terms, so long as Omega came to Japan for the belt. Boltin Oleg entered, seemingly to challenge Tsuji at Power Struggle, but Omega snuck in and smashed him with a Snapdragon Suplex. Then, he attacked Tsuji with a V-Trigger and One-Winged Angel, cementing his goal of regaining the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.
