CHAOS (YOSHI-HASHI, Toru Yano, Tomohiro Ishii, & Hirooki Goto) vs. Bullet Club (Chase Owens, Yujiro Takahashi, Bad Luck Fale, & KENTA)

Yano decided to start the match, but immediately wanted to tag out when he saw Fale was starting the match on the other side. Everyone else refused to tag in, so Yano yelled “OK!” and charged for a shoulder tackle, but Fale no sold it. Yano took off one of the corner pads and then tagged out to YOSHI-HASHI. Chase Owens tagged in and YOSHI-HASHI hit a flipping neckbreaker on Owens.

That didn’t last long though, as Yujiro managed to get a little heat on YOSHI-HASHI before tagging out to Fale who slammed him and then stood on his face and back. Owens joined in and stood on YOSHI-HASHI’s back as well. Bullet Club continued to show good tag team wrestling as Owens and Yujiro hit a few double team moves on YOSHI-HASHI.

Ishii saw enough and ran over Owens and hit a German suplex on Yuijro before trying to suplex Ishii. Fale slammed him, but Yano slapped Fale in the head. Fale turned around and Yano screamed and tried to run, but Fale followed him to the outside and beat on him. KENTA and Goto came into the ring and tried to murder each other. Goto hit a lariat and a few others moves for a 2 count.

KENTA went for Go to Sleep, but Goto fought out. KENTA replied with a DDT and tagged out to Yujiro. After a 3 on one attack, Yujiro managed to get a near fall on Goto, but that didn’t last long. Ishii managed to suplex Fale, which the announcers freaked out about, and then Goto hit a GTR on Yujiro for the 3 count!

Result: CHAOS

Rating: ***

Very solid match here that sets up the NEVER Openweight Six-Man tags and the NEVER Openweight Championship match as well. Bad Luck Fale was not pleased after this match, and KENTA looked like he wanted to murder Goto. Goto looked all business, very confident. Their match is going to be great tomorrow.
