Kazuchika Okada, Toru Yano, Beretta, & Chuckie T vs Jay White, Bad Luck Fale, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa

JADO’S WEARING A FIRING SQUAD SHIRT AND SKINNY PANTS AND HAS AN AIRHORN AND A KENDO STICK. WHAT KIND OF WEIRD ALTERNATE UNIVERSE IS THIS???

More from NJPW

Okada’s starting for his team. He wants Jay White, but gets Tama instead. Okada quickly gets ahead, so Fale and Loa come in to even things out. Tama whips Okada into a kendo stick swinging Jado cause 2018 is very very weird. Bullet Club swarms Okada on the outside and Jay White picks the bones. Saito suplex and Fale and Loa get tags and run off some quick offense. Tama’s in again and taunts the crowd’s “Okada” chants to a chorus of boos. Both sides of GOD continue to dominate. Eventually Okada catches Loa with a flapjack and Beretta gets the hot tag. Crossbody, enziguri, tope con hilo. @trentylocks is trying to be Superman for his team, but Loa gets a momentum swinging reversal and Jay White gets the tag. Chuckie T’s in and tries to rally but the match breaks down. Okada ends up hitting Switchblade with a dropkick, but Gedo distracts the ref as Chuck tries to capitalize. Low blow. Bladerunner. Done.

New Bullet Club is the best. They look so mismatched/ragtag/ridiculous/hilarious together and I just love it so much for some reason. Jay White and Tama Tonga are both masters of getting heat and they already are showing chemistry. This was a great debut overall for the new group and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here.
