White brought Gedo to the ring. Gedo brings brass knuckles when he comes out with White. So it stood to reason that Moxley was in danger of eating a healthy dose of cheating. Red Shoes Unno refereed.

When he entered, Mox wasted no time getting into the ring and taking the fight into White's face and neck. White and Bullet Club are hated by Unno, whose son "Shooter" Umino is Moxley's protege, and that dynamic is a new thread in the tapestry of Unno's character.

Moxley's neck was snapped against the ropes and he ate a pair of DDTs after a scuffle outside the ring left Moxley empty-handed. White couldn't keep Mox down for more than a 1-count, but White's barricade/ringpost combination chipped at Moxley little by little.

White slammed himself into Moxley to keep him in the corner, but Moxley connected a shotgun dropkick. A dive from Moxley sent them both outside again, and he introduced White to the blue barricades, the white barricades, and the arena floor.

Unno had to encourage the men back to the ring, where Mox locked White in his signature figure four around the ringpost. Another submission hold followed but Bullet Club's leader got a hand on the bottom rope to break it up.

White's snap suplex, flatliner, deadlift German suplex, and urenagi didn't dissolve Moxley's chances, and Mox fought his way free of the Kiwi Crusher. He gave White a textbook suplex to gain a 2-count.

Both men were soon to their feet, trading quick strikes until Gedo distracted Unno. Mox still made an underhook DDT (a snap Death Rider finisher? Sound off in the comments!) connect for another 2-count. Mox tangled white and Unno up by accident and took not only a low blow but Gedo's brass knuckles.

Mox fought back with a Regal Knee, but he took a sleeper suplex and lost a series of reversals to take a second. After the earlier brass knuckles and the low blow, Mox was in no shape to fight back seriously. Bloody Sunday and Blade Runner finishers from White dealt Moxley his first NJPW pinfall loss.

Results: Jay White (8) def. Jon Moxley (10) via pinfall
