Desperado unmasked Tiger while Kanemaru made the min with a roll-up.
After the match, Suzuki smacked Shota Umino with a chair as he was tending to Liger. Liger hit the ring and cut a promo challenging Suzuki to a fight. The two traded blows again, but had a pull apart brawl.

Sho hit a running lariat, much like Takagi’s own Pumping Bomber, and used a cross armbreaker. Sanada broke the hold, and continued to brawl with Okada on the floor. Takagi hit his own Pumping Bomber and tagged Sanada. Since POkada was laid out on the floor, Sho had nobody to tag to. Still, Sho managed to counter a Skull End into a brainbuster, then hit a German Suplex for a near fall. Sho went for the kill with a Shock Arrow, but Takagi made the save. Sho clotheslined Takagi to the floor. Okada dropkicked Sanada and Dho went for the Shock Arrow again. Sanada excaped again, and ducked a Rainmaker. By this time, Takagi had come to, and prevented Okada from breaking up anything further. Sanada quickly clamped on the Skull End for the submission.
Takagi took the mic and cut a promo on Sho, vowing to win the tag titles. He told Sho that he should be more concerned with keeping the titles than beating him. Sanada then took the mic, and said he’s feeling a little hot tonight, and he will win the title. He then ended in English saying “See you next time”.
