Hiroshi Tanahashi, Shota Umino & Ren Narita vs. Kota Ibushi, Tomoaki Honma & Toa Henare

Hey, look! It's Honma! The crowd adored the three veterans: Honma, Henare, and Ibushi. Tanahashi, an audience darling, was at a disadvantage because of that, as Narita and Umino are still young lions in the dojo.

Watching Shota take the fight to Henare was inspiring to say the least, as he took what Henare dished out until Henare could tag the Golden Star Ibushi into the match. He took on all three of his opponents in the corner with stiff elbows.

When Ibushi and Honma traded tags, Honma hit the kokeshi to take the fight out of Umino but was hit by a vertical suplex, and Umino tagged Tanahashi in.

Ibushi met Tanahashi, his G1 Climax Finale opponent, head-on, but it didn't take long for them to tag Henare and Narita in. Henare's uranage finally took down Narita. For once, Umino wasn't the direct loser.

Results: Kota Ibushi, Tomoaki Honma & Toa Henare def. Hiroshi Tanahashi, Shota Umino & Ren Narita via pinfall


Kazuchika Okada, Will Ospreay & YOSHI-HASHI vs. Los Ingobernables de Japon (SANADA, EVIL & BUSHI)

This was as much a contest between flashy costumes as it was a test of strength. EVIL and Ospreay opened the match, and Ospreay's speed and agility ate through LIJ's initial energy. EVIL nearly took the pin from Ospreay's shooting star press, but the match wasn't done yet.

SANADA and BUSHI went after Okada and YOSHI-HASHI outside the ring. That left EVIL and Ospreay to counter each other until both men could tag out. Okada and SANADA couldn't keep each other down once they were in the ring!

YOSHI-HASHI and BUSHI came into their tag time fresh and ready to go. YOSHI-HASHI locked in one butterfly lock and was foiled, but his next butterfly lock submitted BUSHI.

Results: Kazuchika Okada, Will Ospreay & YOSHI-HASHI def. Los Ingobernables de Japon (SANADA, EVIL & BUSHI) via submission
