Commentary by: Chris Charlton, Walker Stewart

Overall Show Score: 8/10

Pros: I was highly anticipated this event for quite a white. This night did gave us two well sendoffs for both Kazuchika Okada & Will Ospreay in fitting ways. I can fell the emotions going felt this event and the 2 final matches were my favourites.   

Cons: I didn’t the first half of this event that much. I wasn’t a fan of that finish to that IWGP Tag Team Title match at all. And that wooden plank was difficult to do any moves.
