Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kota Ibushi & Tomoaki Honma vs. Bullet Club (Bad Luck Fale, Yujiro Takahashi & Chase Owens)
Bullet Club's Takanashi is an intimidating guy in real life, and he's even more intimidating when the beguiling PIETER joins him! As is often the case, she wasn't wearing pants. Owens has been the linchpin of Bullet Club's offense during the tournament, and the Ace Tanahashi was up for the challenge.
Tanahashi and Takahashi tangled first, with Owens keeping the advantage firmly in Bullet Club's court. Fale and Owens walked all over Tanahashi's back right after, but the Ace fought back.
From the moment Ibushi was tagged in, Takahashi met speed with brutality before tagging out to Owens. They ran around each other until a back dropkick from Ibushi let him get enough time to tag in Honma.
The veteran Honma attempted his first finisher unsuccessfully, but a running Kokeshi from him led all of his teammates to deliver Kokeshis of their own in at the same time! Owens didn't stay down, and when he rallied it was still against Honma. He had enough stamina to deliver a package piledriver to Honma to end the match.
Results: Bullet Club (Bad Luck Fale, Yujiro Takahashi & Chase Owens) def. Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kota Ibushi & Tomoaki Honma via pinfall
Kazuchika Okada, Will Ospreay & YOSHI-HASHI vs. KENTA, Clark Connors & Karl Fredericks
KENTA's entrance music slaps. Find it and feel epic listening to it! This was a match filled with heroic faces, and the the audience was more heavily on the Rainmaker's side tonight.
Ospreay and KENTA stared each other down as they rounded the ring and each other. When they locked up, their grappling was a show of strength and playful disrespect. Kicks became involved and KENTA's strength beat Ospreay's speed.
Fredericks looked at his opponent, Okada, with something like hesitation when they grappled. Okada dominated with a series of rest holds and a shoulder slam, and Fredericks made the first pinfall attempt after a full body slam. Okada kicked out at 1 and tagged Ospreay.
Ospreay fought as though KENTA never left his mind. YH found numerous ways to pain Fredericks throughout the match, but when Connors came through, he drove through Ospreay and YH with haste.
YH's first finisher attempt didn't end the match, but it put him in place to make Connors tap out.
