Goto and YOSHI-HASHI remain a solid tandem, and bring some serious fight to the wily Bullet Club.

Finlay outpaces Takagi quickly, but Takagi catches Finlay and begins to overpower him. Shingo batters Finlay, but Finlay always finds a way to fight back.

Winner: David Finlay (4)
A Block: Tom Lawlor (0) vs. Jonah (0)
Lawlor tries to tire out Jonah, as Jonah's size advantage becomes too much for Filthy Tom quickly.

Tanahashi and Sabre try to submit each other early and often. Broken up by the occasional strike exchange, this match is a lot of ground game, with Tanahashi and Sabre finding new and creative ways to make it to the ropes. Sabre begins getting the better of Tanahashi. Tanahashi is running out tensile strength as Sabre stretches him.
