Match

Tozawa took a big early advantage with several strikes including a running knee. With Andrade on the outside, Tozawa hit a running somersault senton driving Andrade into the barricade. Back in the ring, Tozawa used a missile dropkick to send Andrade back to the outside. Vega provided a momentary distraction allowing Andrade to regain control.

Back in the ring, Tozawa took back over, but Andrade hit a back elbow and a dropkick. Tozawa continued to fight back, but Andrade yanked Tozawa off the top rope to hit the hammerlock DDT for the pinfall victory.
