Match

Chuck Taylor and Kenny Omega start the match and the Best Friends got the early advantage on Kenny. Nakazawa oiled up so that all of Trent’s knife edge chops slid off his chest. There are a ton of comedy spots in this match with Nakazawa. Nakazawa sprayed oil in Orange’s face, but Orange had his sunglasses on his face. When Nakazawa threw the sunglasses, Orange pulled out another pair and hit Kenny Omega with a suicide dive.

Michael Nakazawa kicked out of a pile driver, but the Best Friends hit their stomp assisted pile driver for the pinfall victory.
