Kazuchika Okada vs. AJ Styles (c) (w/ Bullet Club)

The two trade headlocks and arm drags, and the Bullet Club quickly tries to get involved. The ref catches this and sends them to the back. Red Shoes won't have any of this.

The two fight on the apron with Styles hitting Okada with a suplex the apron, sending them to the floor. Okada returns to the ring and Styles starts working him over. Okada makes it back to his feet and hits a flapjack, does a kip up kicks Styles from turnbuckle off to the floor.

Styles fights back with a snap suplex that sends Okada into the corner. Okada applies the Red Ink and The Bullet Club runs back out, making Okada to release the hold. He fights them off, but Yujiro gets in the ring and tosses Okada over the top to the floor. Satoshi Ishii makes the save and takes out Yujiro with a clothesline. They fight to the back and the rest of the Bullet Club is ejected again. I guess Red Shoes will be having that, after all.

Okada calls for the Rainmaker but Styles doesn't allow it. The two go back and forth with forearms, with Okada getting the better of the exchange. He looks to be in control, but Styles scores his signature reverse DDT off the ropes.

Styles runs right into a huge Okada dropkick. Okada follows up with a Tombstone and calls for the Rainmaker. Styles avoids it and grabs the referee, pushing him right into Okada. Styles then hits the Pele and Bloody Sunday. Okada blocks the Styles Clash, he rolls through, but Styles hits the Clash for the win.

Winner: AJ Styles via pinfall (Styles Clash) to retain the IWGP Heavyweight Championship
