FIRST MATCH: Tomoaki Honma, Shota Umino & Ren Narita vs. Toa Henare, Yota Tsuji & Yuya Uemura
A fiery start to an amazing show. Umino, Narita, Tsuji & Uemura are so good together that Henare and Honma pretty much get to sit back and get their stuff in. Everything one expects from a Young Lion match and so much more.

SECOND MATCH: Jeff Cobb, Yoshi-Hashi, Jushin Thunder Liger, Tiger Mask & Ryusuke Taguchi vs. Suzuki-gun (Taichi, Minoru Suzuki, TAKA Michinoku, El Desperado & Yoshinobu Kanemaru)

SIXTH MATCH: Kazuchika Okada, SHO, YOH, Tomohiro Ishii & Kota Ibushi vs. Los Ingobernables de Japon (SANADA, BUSHI, Shingo Takagi, EVIL & Tetsuya Naito)
An absolute masterpiece of a 10-man tag. The war between CHAOS & LIJ has not been this fierce in a while. SHO & Shingo continue to lay into each other. Okada and SANADA have stellar chemistry. EVIL & Ishii could fight for days and not disappoint.

SEMI-MAIN EVENT: IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship Match: Guerrillas of Destiny (Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa) (c) vs. Most Violent Players (Togi Makabe & Toru Yano)
This match has all the shenanigans that one would expect from these two teams. Makabe and Yano have not lost a step since the original MVP days. Tama & Tanga are doing the work of their careers on this current title run. Definitely worth your time to sit down and enjoy.

MAIN EVENT: Hirooki Goto vs. Jay White
This is the best Goto has looked in YEARS. He truly holds nothing back, giving Jay White one of the most punishing matches of the New Zealander’s career. White has never looked more matured as a wrestler than in this match. The “puppy paws” are gone, and we are looking at a full-fledged main eventer in White.
