Location: Edion Arena, Osaka, Japan
Commentators: Corey Graves, Tom Phillips
We open with a quick video on Samoa Joe vs. Shinsuke Nakamura.
Opening sequence.
Oney Lorcan vs. Andrade Cien Almas
Back up and Lorcan hits a running corner clothesline before popping in a few shots to the face. Something like a standing backflip into a reverse DDT (I believe Tetsuya Naito uses the same) gets two on Lorcan but he comes right back with an inverted exploder. Almas sends him into the corner again with the running double knees getting two despite a foot on the ropes. The hammerlock DDT is broken up and Lorcan takes him to the top for a German superplex (with Almas flipping over in the air) and the pin at 10:06.
Aliyah/Liv Morgan vs. Peyton Royce/Billie Kay
Tag Team Titles: DIY vs. Akira Tozawa/Tajiri
DIY is defending and this time we get the handshake. Gargano and Tozawa start things off and this time the fans are a bit more into it. The fans seem split as both guys miss big kicks and bring in their respective partners. Tajiri sprays some mist as Graves questions his fandom with DIY in the ring.
DIY bows to the challengers post match.

A lot of posing ends the show.
