Both teams went at each other before the referee had a chance to call for the bell. The ensuing brawl saw only EVIL and Suzuki left in the ring. EVIL was on top early, going for an early pin attempt. Suzuki replied with an armbar draped over the top rope. He then went to ringside, took a chair and unloaded it on EVIL's back.

Suzuki rolled EVIL back in the ring and went for a sleeper hold. Suzuki looked to follow up with a Piledriver but was forced to tag in El Desperado. Takagi soon came into the ring and cleared it for his team. Taichi and Takagi were the legal men now as Taichi unloaded with kicks. Takagi replied with a running lariat before being taken out himself. Both men tagged out.

SANADA and ZSJ came in as the legal men and SANADA hit ZSJ with a dropkick. SANADA then tied up Desperado and hit a running dropkick. ZSJ used this opening to make a comeback as he tried to tie up SANADA in a modified Octopus Hold. Both men then traded roll-ups.

LIJ overpowered Zack Sabre Jr and isolated him, looking for the pin which was broken up. ZSJ wrenched BUSHI's arm back and locked in the Jim Breaks Armbar to pick up the submission win for his team.
