BUSHI, Hiromu Takahashi & Tetsuya Naito def Jakob Austin Young, HENARE & Great-O-Khan — (5:38, injury stoppage)
-
HENARE lands weirdly after an armdrag from Naito and crumples to the mat clutching his right knee. He briefly gets to his knees to land a gut shot to Naito, but is then back down in pain. After a bit of weirdness where Naito and O-Khan stall and the ref does anything except talk to HENARE, the match is called.
-
An enraged O-Khan scuffles with Naito, blaming him for HENARE’s injury. He is dragged off by Young Lions while HENARE is helped to the back while putting zero pressure on his right leg. Hiromu and Naito come over to briefly antagonize him.

WTL A Block: Ryohei Oiwa & Zack Sabre Jr def Callum Newman & Jeff Cobb — (15:11, injury stoppage)
-
Callum and Oiwa are on the top turnbuckle, with Oiwa teasing a suplex. Callum’s right leg slips and twists, then he falls all the way to the floor while holding his knee and yelling “oh fuck, oh my god.” The ref goes to check on him, and the match is immediately called off.
-
Cobb goes to sit with Callum while a distressed Oiwa looks on from the ring. Oiwa then goes to check on Callum, but Cobb snaps at him and pushes him away.
-
Zack consoles Oiwa as they leave. A stretcher is brought out for Callum but he refuses it, instead being helped out the exact same way HENARE had.
-
WTL A Block: Tomoaki Honma & Shota Umino def Shingo Takagi & Yota Tsuji — (18:40, Death Rider)
-
Tsuji, who knows Callum from spending time in the Dojo together, looks notably somber during his entrance.
-
Shota is wearing a pair of plain white sweatpants and his old Death Rider kneepads instead of his regular gear, may have been a wardrobe malfunction, may just not have had time to finish dressing due to the last match getting cut short.
-
In the closing moments, Shota moves out of the way of a Pumping Blaster so that Tsuji accidentally hits Shingo with a Gene Blast.
-
LIJ’s loss means the main is winner take all.
