Winners: Bullet Club via pinfall

- Okada and Gedo cut a big promo after the match, and say that YOSHI-HASHI will win the tag titles, and that his championship goals aren't deterred.

Bad Luck Fale vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

If you've never watched NJPW, you need to watch it or Shinsuke Nakamura. Never mind the fantastic in-ring stuff, he's the OG Swaglord, as nicknamed by Wale. Shinsuke Nakamura was at an enormous size disadvantage here, and that played a huge factor in the match.

Nakamura tried to wrestle Fale early, but kept getting cut off by Fale's power. Fale punished Nakamura by slamming him into the guard rail and utilizing slow, methodical abdominal stretches and headlocks to break Nakamura down. Shinsuke showed brief glimpses of comebacks, but kept getting stopped in this tracks.

Nakamura finally fires back with a series of knees, but it doesn't get the job done. The two trade big strikes until Fale hits the Bad Luck Fall, but Nakamura kicks out! Nobody kicks out of that. Finally a Boma Ye wins it for Nakamura

Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura via pinfall (Boma Ye)

That match started Nakamura's fourth IWGP Intercontinental Title reigns. After the match, Nakamura puts over Fale's toughness.
