FIRST MATCH: Togi Makabe, Toa Henare, Ayato Yoshida & Shota Umino vs. Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Satoshi Kojima, Manabu Nakanishi & Yuji Nagata.
Fun opening match. Team New Japan Dads are in their usual asskicking shape. Young Lions are hungry and full or fire.
Need To Watch Rating: (5.0)
SECOND MATCH: Michael Elgin, Jeff Cobb, Beretta & Chuckie T vs. Suzuki-gun (Davey Boy Smith Jr., Lance Archer, Takashi Iizuka & Minoru Suzuki)
The saga of Chuckie T’s mental breakdown continues. Definitely worth the watch.

THIRD MATCH: CHAOS (Tomohiro Ishii, SHO & YOH) vs. Suzuki-gun (Zack Sabre Jr., Yoshinobu Kanemaru & El Desperado)
Sabre vs. Ishii is never bad. Roppongi 3K vs. Kanemaru/Desperado is never bad. There is no part of this match that is bad. These are all facts.

FOURTH MATCH: The Elite (Chase Owens, Yujiro Takahashi & Hangman Page) vs. Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito, BUSHI & Shingo Takagi)
A good welcome back for Naito. Nothing to really write home about. Page and Takagi have some fun exchanges. More Page vs. Takagi, please.

SIXTH MATCH: Taguchi Japan (Hiroshi Tanahashi, David Finlay, Juice Robinson & Ryusuke Taguchi) vs. The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson & Marty Scurll)
Thrilling spotfest that made good use of every participant. Honestly could main event any small NJPW show, and hopefully main events a Road To Tokyo Dome show or two.

SEVENTH MATCH: NEVER Openweight Championship Number One Contender’s Match: Will Ospreay vs. Taichi
An absolute barnburner. Both men come prepared to kill. Nothing is left out. Seek out this match.

SEVENTH MATCH: NEVER Openweight Championship Match: Hirooki Goto (c) vs. Kota Ibushi
Probably one of the best matches of the year. Goto and Ibushi have amazing chemistry and create a masterpiece together. Many year end lists are already done but do not sleep on this match.
Need To Watch Rating: (11.0)
MAIN EVENT: World Tag League Final Match: Guerrillas Of Destiny (Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa) vs. Los Ingobernables de Japon (EVIL & SANADA)
Best match of Tag League but not the best of the night. A great match, ruined by a cheap post-match angle.
