Tomohiro Ishii, Toru Yano and Rocky Romero vs Tetsuya Naito, SANADA and BUSHI
This was a fun match to cool down the audience before the main event. Everyone got a nice little piece of business in and it was very enjoyable. Something is happening between Tomohiro Ishii and Tetsuya Naito as well which is very fun to watch.
The finish saw Ishii hitting BUSHI after a brainbuster for the pinfall.
Winners: Tomohiro Ishii, Toru Yano, and Rocky Romero
Kazuchika Okada and Will Ospreay defeated EVIL and Hiromu Takahashi
Each team consists of huge stars with outstanding talent so it was a joy to watch this one. They all had spots where they got to tease their finishers but for one reason or another, they didn't hit the mark.
As they mounted the tension toward the end of the match the crowd was getting really into this contest.
The finish saw Okada hitting EVIL with The Rainmaker and then Will Ospreay took control and hit the Ozcutter on Takahashi to pick up the pinfall.
Winners: Kazuchika Okada and Will Ospreay
Kenny Omega vs Juice Robinson - IWGP North American Heavyweight Title match
Kenny Omega was coming off of a knee injury but he promised he'd be back ready for Juice Robinson and he's a man of his word.
Omega was in Kobe to prove he's one of the best and Robinson was there to do the same. Juice Robinson's name was widely talked about for his standout performances in the G1 Climax Tournament and he was looking to have another go with The Cleaner.
But after a brutal contest, Kenny Omega would come out victorious. Even though he might have been beaten, there was plenty of respect for Juice Robinson's outstanding efforts.
It doesn't look like Kenny Omega has to search far for his next opponent because after the match was over Yoshi Hashi interrupted him to challenge for the IWGP North American Heavyweight title.
