Thoughts: This was all about Will and Newman not getting along. That was to be expected and was not surprising. It was mostly a free-for-all though. Tag team rules weren't respected much and it was people doing what they wanted. The selling wasn't the best either. It was what it was and I thought it was average.

Thoughts: I didn't like it that much. That 2nd rope electric chair drop spot was super dangerous and a terrible idea. They had some creative spots, but none of them meant much. It wasn't boring as it had a lot of action, but it was not really a smart match. I also really don't understand why Kenny is doing matches in Japan instead of AEW if he's healthy.
Kenny talks on the mic after. He says he wants the IWGP Title on 1/4.

Mistico comes out with the junior tag titles. Mistico talks on the mic. Mistico gives them the titles as he says him and El Desperado have to vacate the titles due to Desperado's injury. They agree to a 3-way match with Kosei and Eagles, though I'm not sure how it is supposed to work out since Mistico doesn't have a partner now.

Thoughts: I didn't like it. The story of Tai trying to survive Gabe was nice but they did way too much here with 2nd rope canadian destroyers and freaking ganso bomb's not being enough to put people down. They just went too far with this one.

Thoughts: Gabe should really be fired from NJPW for piledriving Tana or Tana needs to come back and fight him. It would really be hard to buy any other result here. The NJPW faces looked bad for not coming out to help here.
Overall thoughts: It was a longer show. The undercard was pretty large here. They had a ton of guests from AEW here and it's was nearly an AEW vs NJPW show. They heavily focused on building up the Tokyo Dome show here with multiple matches being made for it. The undercard had shorter matches as usual with none really getting the time to be great. I didn't like Oiwa's or Hyo's matches at all. The Death Riders' tag match was acceptable. The IWGP Tag Title match was more story focused and was average. Kenny Omega took a horrible looking bump in his match. They didn't sell much in it but it was full of action. The semi-main was fine. They went too far in the main event and I didn't like it. This is a hard show for me to rate. I feel like NJPW did everything they were supposed to do here, but I didn't actually love any of the matches that much. That has to play a role in this rating. I'd give the show a 6 out of 10 overall mostly for effort, but the wrestling here could have been better. It was acceptable.
