The crowd is into this match heavily to start as Devitt locks on a front headlock. Okada misses a Rainmaker and Devitt misses a Dreamcast kick after trading headlocks and they both regroup.

The ref is distracted and Fale catches Okada's legs off of a baseball slide, which allows Devitt to hit a slingshot double stomp. Devitt follows up with a dropkick as we go to a commercial break.

Devitt applies an abdominal stretch, and gets some leverage from Karl Anderson. Machine Gun goes right back at it and apron powerbombs Okada while the ref is distracted. Okada is rolled back in and worked on by Devitt.

Okada fights back with an Irish whip reversal and a neckbreaker. He gets back to his feet first and connects with European uppercuts, a DDT and a big kick to the face for a three count. Okada does the Rainmaker pose as we go to commercial.

Devitt counters the Rainmaker with a roll up, but only gets a two count. Devitt connects with another double stomp and a tope con hilo. Devitt hits a ridiculous double foot stomp and a Bloody Sunday, but only gets two!

Devitt misses another foot stomp and Okada scores with a reverse neckbreaker over his shoulder. The two trade big forearms until Okada hits an elbow and dropkicks Devitt to the floor.

Okada does a flip dive onto the entire Bullet Club, then tosses Devitt back inside where he hits Heavy Rain. Red Ink is applied in the middle of the ring. Balor breaks free as we get our final commercial break.

Okada tries a Tombstone, but it's blocked. Barnett wisely says that Okada needs a new Tombstone method if he's struggling to get Devitt up. The ref is knocked out and Devitt hits Okada with a chair. The Bullet Club hits the ring, but they are disposed of by Okada and Gedo.

Devitt comes through and Tombstones Okada, then hits him with a chair. He then puts a chair on Okada and scores with the double stomp again, but somehow only gets two.
