KENTA, Naomichi Marufuji, Kaito Kiyomiya & Henare defeated Kento Miyahara, Daichi Hashimoto, Naoya Nomura & Takuya Nomura in 9:43 when KENTA used the Go 2 Sleep on Takuya Nomura 83 B+

 

After the match in an interview, Kento Miyahara mentioned that he is disappointed that he has no challenger for his title at Dominion so issued an open challenge to anyone in Los Ingobernables de Japon to prove himself to Tetsuya Naito that he is worthy of another fight for the IWGP Heavyweight title.

Hirooki Goto, Tomohiro Ishii, Will Ospreay, SHO & YOH defeated Kenny Omega, Bad Luck Fale, Tama Tonga, Tanga Roa & Yujiro Takahashi in 10:38 when Tomohiro Ishii used a Brainbuster on Yujiro 76 B-

 

Immediately after picking up the pinfall victory, Ishii stood up and gave a stiff lariat to Kenny Omega laying him out and picking up his Intercontinental title, taking a look, before placing it back down draped over the champs chest. In an interview backstage he formally challenged Kenny to a title match.

<blockquote style="border: 2px solid #FFD700;">

Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kota Ibushi & Juice Robinson defeated Tetsuya Naito, EVIL & SANADA in 18:20 when Tanahashi used two High Fly Flows on Tetsuya Naito to pin the IWGP Heavyweight Champion 91 A

 

 

Tanahashi demanded a microphone and Shota Umino performing Young Lion duties at ringside tossed one in to him.

 

Tanahashi started by thanking the fans for coming out and selling out the building but questioned them for opting to cheer for L.I.J over his team in the match. Tanahashi said that he understands that his year has been far from what he has wanted but he's had a hint of bad luck in addition to certain unnamed allies of his under performing in matches letting him and the fans of the ace of NJPW down. Hiroshi stopped while a small percentage of the crowd started to boo him but they were quickly drowned out by fans chanting his name. He continued on saying that he proved tonight that when he is left to battle for himself with no "help" he is still capable of being the man to lead NJPW and being the ace so challenged Tetsuya Naito to a IWGP title match and made it extremely clear to Kota, but mainly Juice, that he wants to go in alone at Dominion.

"Okada. Okaaadddaaaaaa. Where are you my little Kazuchika? Where have you been Okada?

 

We main evented this damn place last year and look where we are now.

I'm here every day putting in the work while you're sat at home feeling sorry for yourself because you lost a couple matches? I though you were the golden boy was going to lead this company forward but you're nowhere to be seen because you're a coward. A nothing coward that can't handle the pressure when you realise that you're not as good as the lies that Gedo was whispering into your ear. I've just beaten the man that was forced to step up and replace you as the leader of Chaos and you can't do anything about it watching at home. Okada, listen to me. You've not only let yourself down but your friends."

Tetsuya Naito defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi in 35:01 when Naito used three successive Destinos 99 A*

Tetsuya Naito makes defence number 4 of the IWGP Heavyweight Title

 

 

 

After the match Naito was helped to the back by WHIRO & BUSHI with an ice pack on his shoulder after landing awkwardly on it earlier in the match which left Tanahashi sat alone in the ring cross legged with the occasional tear running down his face.

 

Juice Robinson came out from the back passing Naito on the entrance ramp as the crowd went silent while Juice entered the ring. Juice put out his hand offering to lift up Tanahashi which he used. The two men were then left staring at each other until Juice broke the silence by attempting to hug Tana but it was block by Tana's palm pressed into Juice's chest before lightly pushing him away when out of nowhere Tanahashi took a step back and punted Juice between the legs with a nasty low blow sending the American crashing down hard to the mat. Several young lions quickly slid into the ring but a crazed Tanahashi delivered vicious closed fist punches to them all before leaving the ring to boos from the Osaka crowd.
