G1 Climax 27 Night 2

Tokyo, Japan

Preliminary matches:

  • El Desparado and Zack Sabre Jr defeated Hirai Kawato and Kota Ibushi

G1 Matches

  • Juice Robinson (2pts) defeated Satoshi Kojima (0pts)

    • Robinson picked up a win in his first ever G1 match.
    • He kicked out of a strong lariat and hit Pulp Friction for the win

  • Tama Tonga (2pts) defeated Michael Elgin (0pts)

    • Commentary played up how Tonga is the most elusive wrestler in the game, and has a very unique style.
    • Tonga countered a move from the 2nd rope into a Stun Gun and got the pin.

  • Sanada (2pts) defeated EVIL (0pts)

    • A battle between members of Los Ingobernables!
    • Finish of the match saw Evil repeatedly get out of the Skull End, but Sanada then hit a moonsault for the pin.

  • Kazuchika Okada (2pts) defeated Toru Yano (0pts)

    • A lot of your normal Yano shenanigans and comedy.
    • After both of them nearly getting counted out, Okada locked in the Red Ink and got the tap.

  • Kenny Omega (2pts) defeated Minoru Suzuki (0pts)

    • Omega went to do a moonsault from the guardrail early, but Suzuki kicked it out from underneath him. His leg landed on the guardrail and Suzuki would focus on it for much of the match.
    • There was a ref bump mid-way through the match when Suzuki pulled Red Shoes in front of him as Omega was going for a V-Trrigger knee.
    • This brought out Suzuki-Gun, which would eventually bring out Chase Owens and Bad Luck Fale.
    • At one point Omega hit everyone on Los Ingobernables with a top rope senton into the first couple of rows of seats.
    • The two factions cancelled each other out (possibly building towards a match at the next ROH PPV) and it was down to 1-on-1.
    • Suzuki focussed again on the leg but Omega made a comeback.
    • He hit quite a few V-Triggers, and there was also a fairly botched reverse hurricanrana attempt as well.
    • Then Omega hoisted him up and hit the 1-Winged Angel for the win.
