Killer Elite Squad (Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Lance Archer) vs Los Ingobernables de Japon (EVIL and Sanada), for the IWGP Tag Team Championship

The interesting thing to note will be how LiJ's championship matches and results inform the predictions of the main event. There are multiple variables in the way which things could end up.

The story of this tag team contest is pretty much about LiJ with Killer Elite Squad providing a tough foil. LiJ's 2017 World Tag League victory rests on the shoulders of two very interesting men as well.

Just a year ago, it seemed like the enigmatic Sanada was touted as the next big thing and a breakout from LiJ after his exciting well fought G1 Climax match against Hiroshi Tanahashi. He had impressed many and raised the bar.

EVIL stood up to that challenge, racking his own incredible set of matches this year along with a shocking win over champion Kazuchika Okada. An IWGP World Title match later, proved EVIL is also here to stay despite the defeat.

A victory is assured, but it will be interesting to see how that informs the new evolution of both these performers and LiJ as a unit; depending on Naito's win or loss in the final match of the night.
