  • IWGP Hvt. Champion Kazuchika Okada & Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Jay White & Bad Luck Fale
  • IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay vs. Robbie Eagles
  • IWGP Hvt. Tag Team Champions G.O.D. (Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa) vs. CHAOS (Juice Robinson & Mikey Nicholls)
  • British Cruiserweight Champion El Phantasmo vs. Rocky Romero.
  • Tomohiro Ishii & YOSHI-HASHI vs. Yujiro Takahashi & Chase Owens
  • CHAOS (Toru Yano & SHO & YOH) vs. Bullet Club (Taiji Ishimori & Gedo & Gino Gambino)
  • Slex vs. Aaron Solow
  • Toa Henare & Shota Umino & Ren Narita vs. Mark Tui & Andrew Villalobos & Michael Richards

Radican’s Analysis: This is a nice lineup ahead of the G1 Climax taking place next weekend. There are several title matches on the card that make this feel like more than just a showcase event for NJPW in Australia. Ospreay vs. Eagles for the Jr. Hvt. title should be tremendous and I expect it to steal the show. Romero and Phantasmo had a fantastic match during the BOSJ tournament earlier this year, so I expect this match for the British Cruiserweight Championship to be really good as well.
