IWGP Heavyweight Championship
Okada (c) vs. Togi Makabe

Makabe starts by working over Okada's arm, trying to lock on an armbar but he gets stacked up and can't pull it off. Okada goes to a headlock, but quickly gets shoulder blocked.

Okada goes for the Rainmaker immediately after, but Togi ducks. Makabe starts brawling and dumps Okada outside before tossing him into the guard rail.

Makabe ends up on the top rope and gets dropkicked off by Okada. He chases after and hits a nice draping DDT on the outside as we go to the commercial break.

As we come back Okada charges the corner with a running elbow and drops Makabe with a neckbreaker before locking in the DID. Makabe survives, but eats a DDT for 2 off of a lazy Okada cover.

Makabe gets up and challenges Okada to keep hitting him. Okada obliges, but Makabe destroys the champion with a big clothesline. Makabe continues to beat the hell out of Okada with strikes and clotheslines before getting a two count off of a northern lights suplex.

Okada manages to regain momentum with a kick and straightjacket neckbreaker. Okada climbs up top and connects with the top rope elbow drop. He signals for the Rainmaker, but Makabe gets right back up in his face. Makabe punishes Okada with huge slaps as we go to commercial.

We come back and Makabe almost wins it with a German suplex, but Okada kicks out. Makabe misses the King Kong Kneedrop and is down. Okada locks on the Red Ink, but Makabe gets to the ropes.

Okada hits an over the shoulder neckbreaker and Heavy Rain, but somehow doesn't get the three count. They both roll outside and trade elbow strikes until Makabe scores with a big time powerslam.

Makabe gets a table and powerbombs Okada through it, as Mauro Ranallo and Josh Barnett go crazy on commentary. We then cut to commercial.

We're back, and Makabe tosses Okada in the ring after the huge powerbomb. He follows up with a King Kong Powerbomb, but Okada kicks out!! Big corner clothesline, and both are on the turnbuckles. Spider suplex from Makabe, but he misses the knee drop again.

Okada hits a dropkick out of nowhere and misses a Rainmaker that allows Makabe to get two off of a Dragon suplex. Okada comes right back with a super stiff Tombstone piledriver and the Rainmaker for the win! A classic match.

Winner: Okada via pinfall (Rainmaker) to retain the IWGP Heavyweight Championship

- After the match Makabe says he'll try again and calls Okada a bastard. He also calls the audience dumb.

- Okada is in the ring with Gedo, and Prince Devitt and the Bullet Club come out. Devitt challenges Okada for the IWGP title, but Okada says Devitt has to put his IWGP Junior Heavyweight title on the line against Gedo too. Devitt accepts!
