Match

Kushida attempted to pick the leg of Burch, but Burch countered and cinched in an arm bar for the first minute of the match. The wrestling continued with both men taking turns stretching the other through the first five minutes of the match.

When Kushida went for a leap frog, Burch picked the leg and sent Kushida to the mat. Burch didn’t sustain the advantage though as Kushida knocked Burch to the outside. When Kushida leaped from the top rope, Burch caught him with an uppercut.

Moments later, Kushida used a handspring back elbow and a Thesz press off the apron to the floor. After a step up enziguri from Kushida, Burch again connected with a fist to the face. Kushida had to escape Burch’s crossface, but then he hit the cartwheel basement dropkick. Kushida immediately went for the hoverboard lock and secured the victory.
