Match Announcement

• Douki, Taichi, ZSJ vs. Ryuske Taguchi, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kota Ibushi

Taiji Ishimori defeats Yoshinobu Kanemaru – 09:17

• Kanemaru attacked Ishimori from behind as he came through the curtain. Before the match started, Kanemaru tossed Ishimori into the barricade.
• Ishimori used the bloody cross to secure the pinfall victory.

Tomohiro Ishii defeats Togi Makabe – 13:29

• At the 11 minute mark, Makabe went for the King Kong Knee Drop. He missed.
• Ishii eventually picked up the pinfall victory after connecting with a brainbuster suplex.

Taguchi, Ibushi, Tanahashi defeat ZSJ, Taichi, Douki – 13:56

• This match previews the Taichi and Kota Ibushi match scheduled for 7/1. It may also preview a tag title program between Ibushi/Tanahashi and Sabre/Taichi.
• Kota Ibushi ran from the back and immediately attacked his opponents. It’s always interesting when someone uses Suzuki Gun’s tactics against them.
• Suzuki Gun continued their long-term strategy of weakening Tanahashi’s knee.
• Ultimately, Ryuske Taguchi used Dodon to secure the pinfall victory over Douki.

Post Match

• Suzuki Gun attacked again. Taichi and ZSJ picked up the tag team titles essentially issuing their challenge.
• Taguchi helped make the save allowing Tanahashi and Ibushi to stand tall in the ring.

Hiromu Takahashi defeats Toru Yano – 08:55

• Hiromu came to the ring wearing a hard hat. This is presumably to prevent Yano from shaving his head.
• As soon as the bell rang, Yano pulled out a pair of hair clippers.
• Action kept spilling to the outside where Yano had scissors stashed everywhere. Seemed dangerous to keep pulling them out.
• After taping Takahashi to Tsuji, Yano managed to cut some of Takahashi’s hair.
• With Tsuji still taped to his ankle, Takahashi taped Yano’s legs together and covered his eyes  before tossing him in the elevator.
• Takahashi barely beat the referee’s 20 count to get a count out victory.

Kazuchika Okada defeats Yuji Nagata – 20:17

• Okada played the hits at the 15 minute mark hitting both a dropkick and a tombstone. When he went for a submission, Nagata countered into one of his own.
• A few minutes later, Okada did cinch in the the submission and the referee had to call for the bell.
