Dick Togo, Ren Narita & EVIL def Jakob Austin Young, HENARE & Great-O-Khan — (9:43, Double Cross)
-
For a HoT multiman tag, overall less shenanigans than you might expect.
-
Post-match, EVIL and Ren steal the tag belts for a bit, eventually giving them back after disrespecting them in true Bullet Club fashion.
-
DOUKI, TAKA Michinoku & Taichi def BUSHI, Hiromu Takahashi & Tetsuya Naito (T-shirt & entrance hoodie version) — (6:29, Italian Stretch No.32/Douki Chokey)
-
Since tonight’s show is a rare one where video recording is allowed, Taichi recorded his entrance with a selfie stick. It’s passed to referee Sato and then to Naito before LIJ jumps J4G to start the match. ETA: Video premiering on Taichi’s YouTube shortly.
-
Simultaneous submissions at the end of the match, with Taichi keeping Naito held for extra time.

During the winners announcement, the venue goes black and a video plays. Claudio Castagnoli is Mox’s Emissary who will face Shota at Wrestle Dynasty.
-
Umino says he’ll win the WHC on January 4th, beat Claudio on the 5th, and eventually beat Jon Moxley.
-
WTL A Block: Yota Tsuji & Shingo Takagi def SANADA & Gabe Kidd — (21:43, Hurricanrana)

-
Gabe is not happy that SANADA lost, though he keeps his composure.
