NJPW LOGO

Show is available on NJPWWorld.com

FIRST MATCH: World Tag League Tournament Match: Togi Makabe & Toa Henare (4 pts) vs. Ayato Yoshida & Shota Umino (0 pts)

A great showing from The Young Lions, as always. Henare gets to look a little more dominant than usual, due to the experience level of his opponents. Solid, inessential match.

Need To Watch Rating: (4.9)

SECOND MATCH: World Tag League Tournament Match: Manabu Nakanishi & Yuji Nagata (2 pts) vs. The Besties (Chuckie T & Beretta) (8 pts)

The friction between The Besties make for a gripping undercard drama. Nakanishi and Nagata take some big risks in the match that seemingly pay off.

Need To Watch Rating: (6.5)

THIRD MATCH: World Tag League Tournament Match: Ten-cozy (Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima) (6 pts) vs. FinJuice (David Finlay & Juice Robinson) (8 pts)

Really solid tag match. FinJuice are becoming one of the best tag teams in the company and they prove that against these NJPW legends.

Need To Watch Rating: (7.5)

FOURTH MATCH: World Tag League Tournament Match: Dick & Balls (Hangman Page & Yujiro Takahashi) (6 pts) vs. Suzuki-gun (Minoru Suzuki & Takashi Iizuka) (6 pts)

Fun, shenanigan-filled match. Ultimately skippable.

Need To Watch Rating: (4.0)

FIFTH MATCH: World Tag League Tournament Match: Killer Elite Squad (Lance Archer & Davey Boy Smith Jr.) (8 pts) vs. Suzuki-gun (Zack Sabre Jr. & Taichi) (10 pts)

Some really spectacular exchanges, and a fun Taichi/Archer storyline make for a delightful watch.

Need To Watch Rating: (8.0)

SIXTH MATCH: World Tag League Tournament Match: Jeff Cobb & Michael Elgin (8 pts) vs. CHAOS (Tomohiro Ishii & Toru Yano) (10 pts)

Hard-hitting war of a match. Definitely worth the watch for Ishii and Cobb’s furious exchanges. Yano is always fun. Elgin is there too.

Need To Watch Rating: (7.0)

SEVENTH MATCH: World Tag League Tournament Match: Los Ingobernables de Japon (EVIL & SANADA) (12 pts) vs. Guerrillas Of Destiny (Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa) (10 pts)

LIJ vs. GOD is always good. LIJ vs. GOD is never bad.

Need To Watch Rating: (9.0)

MAIN EVENT: Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kazuchika Okada, KUSHIDA & Rocky Romero vs. Bullet Club (Jay White, Bad Luck Fale, Taiji Ishimori & Gedo)

A far more substantial match than the one from the previous night. Rocky Romero and Bad Luck Fale have some truly wonderful exchanges. Seeing the CHAOS boys and the Taguchi Japan boys team up against Bullet Club is major feel good stuff. Jay White is going to be champion in 2019.

Need To Watch Rating: (9.9)
