* Hirooki Goto, Tomohiro Ishii, YOSHI-HASHI & Oskar Leube picked up the win over TMDK (Zack Sabre Jr., Shane Haste, Mikey Nicholls & Kosei Fujita) at 11:59.
* The Bullet Club (El Phantasmo & KENTA) beat Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Hiroshi Tanahashi at 13:21.

* Shota Umino, Toru Yano & kazuchika Okada defeated Los Ingobernables De Japon (Tetsuya Naito, Shingo Takagi & SANADA) at 14:40. Umino pinned SANADA using the Death Rider to pick up the first main event win of his career at Korakuen Hall.
* After the match, Umino stood over the beaten down Tetsuya Naito and got on the mic, saying this will be the same situation when they face each other one-on-one in Sapporo next month. As Shingo Takagi helped Naito out of the ring, Umino taunted Naito asking him how it felt to get beaten by someone who wasn’t even on his radar.
