NJPW World Tag League Night 1 Results (Sami Callihan Makes Debuts In Main Event, Okada In Action, Bullet Club & MORE)

THIRD MATCH: Katsuya KitamuraDavid FinlayMichael ElginJeff Cobb vs. CHAOS (BerettaChuckie TToru YanoTomohiro Ishii)

The match began with a series of stalls, stomps & shoulder blocks, exchanged between Yano & Elgin. The main story of the match was the NJPW debuts of Jeff Cobb & Chuckie T. Cobb spent his NJPW debut throwing Tomohiro Ishii around like he was a young boy, and then hitting a standing moonsault that drew a full-blown shriek from the audience. Chuck Taylor was equally impressive, while being one-hundred times more smarmy. Kitamura made Chuckie T pay for his showboating with chest shattering chops, but after getting double teamed by Beretta & Chuckie, the Kentucky Gentleman hit a modified Awful Waffle for the pinfall.

WINNERS: CHAOS

FOURTH MATCH: Manabu NakanishiYuji Nagata & Ten-cozy (Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima) vs. Bullet Club (Yujiro TakahashiHangman PageBad Luck Fale & Chase Owens)

The start saw Owens take on Nakanishi and ultimately get the better of him. Using his speed, he managed to keep Nakanishi to his knees, and then Page and Yujiro used a numbers advantage to weaken the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion. Nakanishi found his way to Kojima, but Kojima was not able to put up much of an effort, until Page called for a double team that was hilariously mistimed and led to Kojima getting the advantage on the younger competitors. Owens told Tenzan and Kojima to “Suck It!” which led to Chase eating a flapjack/cutter combo from Tenzan & Kojima and the pinfall.

WINNERS: Nagata, Nakanishi & Ten-Cozy

FIFTH MATCH: Hiroshi TanahashiTogi MakabeHenare vs. Suzuki-gun (Killer Elite Squad (Lance Archer & Davey Boy Smith Jr.) & El Desperado.

Henare started the match by taking EVERY BIT OF PUNISHMENT that Suzuki-gun had for him, each member, methodically. Henare finally got a tag to Makabe who cleared the ring. After a chaotic, shenanigan-filled Suzuki-gun classic, KES hit their finisher on Henare, but after Tanahashi and Makabe get back at the Squad, Henare hits a crossbody on Desperado, followed by Slingblade from Tanahashi, High Fly Flow and the 1, 2, 3.

WINNERS: Tanahashi, Makabe & Henare.
