Venue: Toyota Arena
TV station/network: NJPWWorld.com
Commentary by: Ian Riccaboni & Veda Scott
Overall Show Score: 8/10
Pros: Zack Sabre Jr won his match. Guerrillas of Destiny won back the Strong Openweight Tag Team Championship belts. HENARE making his statement field heard at this event. I was surprised by that last standing match being good with no bullet club interference & nice back and forth action in the main event.
Cons: I wish that Mustafa Ali, Lio Rush Match was on the main show. I didn’t like how they used the open challenge here. I didn’t like the appearance of the elite & Shota Umino didn’t win the World Heavyweight Championship.
