Preliminaries:

1. Yoshi Tatsu & Hirai Kawato defeated Tomoyuki Oka & Katsuya Kitamura (Tatsu made Kitamura tap)

4. Hirooki Goto, Toru Yano, Jado, Rocky Romero, Beretta (CHAOS) defated Minoru Suzuki, Yoshinobu Kanemaru, Taichi, El Desperado, Taka Michinoku (Suzuki-Gun) (Goto pinned Taka)
-After the match Suzuki attacked Goto and there was a melee between the two factions. Mainly it was about Goto and Suzuki though, as Suzuki defeated Goto for the NEVER Openweight title just days ago. Suzuki also gave a hard right hand to one of the young boys at ringside, which Don Callis called “a shoot”. 

5. Cody defeated David Finlay
– After the match Cody called on NJPW to give him a bigger, higher-ranked opponent. 

6. Tetsuya Naito & Hiromu Takahashi (Los Ingobernables) defeated Juice Robinson & Kushida (Takahashi pinned Kushida)
– They teased the idea that Takahashi has Kushida’s number, and mentioned the win streak he is on over him. They’ll be on opposite blocks for the BOSJs, but could potentially meet in the finals. 

Main Card:

7. IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships
War Machine vs. Guerrillas of Destiny vs. Tencoji
War Machine came out with full medieval knight/Viking helmets, which made for a cool entrance. They hit Fallout on Tenzan for the pin.
After the match they were attacked by Tama Tonga and Tanga Roa, who will probably get a 2-on-2 shot at them next.
Winners: War Machine (1st title defence)(Rowe pinned Tenzan)

8. NEVER 6-Man Tag Team Championships
Tanahashi, Taguchi, & Ricochet (c) vs. Sanada, Evil, Bushi (Los Ingobernables)
Taguchi made Bushi tap to the ankle lock but the referee was down. Bushi then sprayed Taguchi in the face with the poison mist, but couldn’t get the pin.
He then landed a codebreaker from the 2nd rope on Taguchi, followed by another from the 3rd rope, and then finally did get the 3-count. 
Winners: Los Ingobernables (new champions)(Bushi pinned Taguchi)

9.Tomohiro Ishii (CHAOS) vs. Kenny Omega (Bullet Club)
This match started with Ishii beating up Omega around the ring for the first few minutes. Omega only got back on offence when the referee prevented Ishii from using a chair, and the momentary distraction allowed Omega to hit a running dropkick.

Omega would use all of his standard moves, such as a reverse-hurricanrana, a normal hurricanrana, a springboard move to the floor (that he almost over-shot), and many running knees. Ishii responded with his typical hard-hitting style, with lots of hard clotheslines and suplexes.

After they started getting near-falls on each other, Omega started landing moves similar to Ishii’s, such as hard clotheslines and a brain-buster. Then things got really weird when Ishii started landing some of Kenny Omega’s moves, including a reverse hurricanrana. He landed on his head when he did it, but he did it. Then Omega hit the One-Winged Angel and pinned him.
Winner: Kenny Omega 

10. IWGP Heavyweight Championship Match
Kazuchika Okada (CHAOS)(c) vs. Bad Luck Fale (Bullet-Club)
Bad Luck Fale has beaten Okada in the G1 tournament 2 years in a row. He’s beaten many big names over the years, including Tanahashi. The problem is he usually loses in title matches. Though he is a 1-time IWGP Intercontinental champion. 
Before the match they showed clips of Fale in his dome dojo in New Zealand. He spoke to the camera about how he wants to help NJPW expand into New Zealand & Australia, and thinks he’ll do that if he wins the title.
Fale hit Okada with a tombstone for a near-fall. Okada countered the Bad Luck Fall into a hurricanrana. He then transitioned from a backslide to a 2 Rainmaker clotheslines, then a german suplex and into a 3rd Rainmaker clothesline for the win.

After the match Kenny Omega was at ringside and Okada called out to him. Omega got in the ring and they had a stare down while the fans chanted for Omega. He then made the pointed gun motion at Okada before leaving the ring area.

Okada then announced he would defend his championship against Omega at NJPW Dominion in June.
Winner: Kazuchika Okada (5th title defence)
