Hiromu Takahashi came to the ring with his IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title and his left arm in a sling. He injured his left pectoral muscle. He took the mic and addressed the fans. He repeated his desire to main event at Wrestle Kingdom. He asked that BUSHI take his place in the match against El Phantasmo at Castle Attack. He turned the title belt over to a New Japan official.
Jeff Cobb, The Great O-Khan and Will Ospreay, with Bea Priestley vs. Yota Tsuji, Satoshi Kojima and Hiroshi Tanahashi. Tsuji backdropped Ospreay into the air. Cobb caught Ospreay. Cobb threw Ospreay at Tsuji and Ospreay hit an Oscutter. Ospreay threw Tsuji into Cobb who caught him and hit Tour of the Islands. Cobb pinned Tsuji. Great final sequence there. All members of The United Empire have looked good on this tour. Ospreay looks like an Attitude Era Shawn Michaels, who bumps for the big men, but yet can still wrestle and fly like a Luchador. O-Khan attacked Tanahashi outside the ring, attempting to injure his leg.
