Match

With Atlas on the outside, Kushida climbed to the top rope and hit a somersault senton. Back in the ring, Kushida hit the cartwheel dropkick. Atlas slowed down Kushida with a pump kick and a shining wizard. Atlas attempted to springboard into the ring, but Kushida grabbed Atlas right into the arm bar for the submission victory.
