WRESTLE KINGDOM 9 Results: Tanahashi vs. Okada, Multiple Title Changes & More From the “WrestleMania of Japan”

8-Man Tag Team Match

Toru Yano, Marufuji & TMDK vs. Shelton Benjamin, Takashi, Lance Archer & Davey Boy Smith Jr. 

This essentially broke down into Team Noah vs. Team New Japan, with the Noah guys acting as the big babyfaces and getting a ton of respect from JR and Striker. A lot of love for Shelton Benjamin from Jim Ross as well, for obvious reasons. Striker talked about Davey’s time in WWE and the legacy of the Hart family. Marufuji picked up the win in another short match (about five minutes) with a running knee lift. TMDK was praised huge, and there were a lot of good spots even though the whole thing wasn’t that long. 

Winners: Yano, Marufuji and TMDK
