WTL B Block: HENARE & Great-O-Khan def EVIL & Ren Narita (w/Dick Togo) — (20:34, Imperial Drop)
-
Kanemaru, a guest on Japanese comms, eventually gets involved in the interference along with Dick; which is relatively light until the ending minutes of the match.
-
Shoutout to Narita for choosing to look like an idiot by “slipping” on the turnbuckle instead of standing there looking like an idiot stalling while waiting for HENARE to come knock him down.
-
A video from The Young Bucks interrupts O-Khan’s victory speech. Besides polite applause when the video ends, the crowd legitimately does not react at all, even when The Bucks say they’ll be at Wrestle Dynasty to win the IWGP Tag titles.
