Pros: Well done TMDK winning the Never Open weight 6-Man Tag Team Championships. Syuri capture the Strong Women’s Championship and retain her IWGP Women’s Championship. Andrade El Ídolo appeared with a good impression. Aaron Wolf won the NEVER Ovenweight Championship in his pro-wrestling debut. Yota Tsuji capture the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship & keep his IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship Kazuchika Okada retired Hiroshi Tanahashi & a extraordinary farewell with familiar foes such as Jay White, Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi and many more.
Cons: The NJPW World Television Championship been defended o the pre-show. IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship wasn’t even defended on this event. That 4-Way match was a overbooked mess.
