#4 Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito and SANADA) vs Bullet Club (Jay White and Chase Owens)

Ahead of their IWGP Intercontinental Championship match at Destruction in Kobe, Jay White and current champion Tetsuya Naito faced off in a preview for their title match. Naito, as usual, gets a crazy reaction from the crowd as he begins the match with White. The two men had some solid exchanges and so did SANADA and Owens.

SANADA even locked in his traditional Paradise Lock on Owens but the Crown Jewel eventually answered back with some solid offense as he hit a straight kick to the face for a quick pinfall attempt.

Owens went for a Package Piledriver to seal the win but it eventually got reversed by a hook submission from SANADA, as Naito held White down on the outside as Owens tapped out.

Result: Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito and SANADA) defeated Bullet Club (Jay White and Chase Owens)


#5 Guerrillas of Destiny (Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa) (c) vs. Aussie Open (Mark Davis and Kyle Fletcher)- IWGP Tag Team Championship

The Copper Box was split for this one as half of them chanted "GoD", whereas, the other half were in favor of the Aussie Open. GoD began the match with the attacks. Without a doubt, this was one of the best matches of the evening, as the two teams absolutely went at it from start to finish.

This was the first time Aussie Open had challenged for the IWGP Tag Team Titles and despite a valiant effort, the Guerillas of Destiny managed to retain their titles after cutting off Aussie Open's Fidget Spinner as GoD hit a super powerbomb for the win.

Result: Guerrillas of Destiny (Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa) (c) defeated Aussie Open (Mark Davis and Kyle Fletcher)- IWGP Tag Team Championship


#6 Tomohiro Ishii vs KENTA- NEVER Openweight Championship

This was Kenta's first title match in NJPW and having joined the Bullet Club at the G1 Finals, he was beeming with a lot of confidence. The match itself began with a slow place but the two men sure did have a hard-htting bout.

In the closing stages of the match, Kenta's fellow Bullet Club stablemates Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa made their way out to the ring and took out the ref. Kenta finally hit the GTS to win the Never Openweight Championship.

Result: KENTA defeated Tomohiro Ishii to win the NEVER Openweight Championship
