Tal chokeslams Go and Ashino. Ren hits a spinning falcon arrow on Ashino and wins.

Thoughts: They had the idea of the match down with the big men vs smaller men but I don't know if this the best idea for someone like Go. Go's too high up on the food chain and too expensive to basically be turning him into a midcarder like they did here. He just didn't look like a star at all against the bigger guys. The match was okay.

Ren talks on the mic after. Talos says they are here to dominate this decision and the AJPW tag champs.  

Oddyssey comes in and says he's not worried about either of them. Xyon comes in with him and they go face to face with Ren and Talos. 

Overall thoughts: Everything minus the opener was fine, but nothing I would ever watch again. The semi-main was probably the best thing on here. I would give it a 6 out of 10 and thought it was one of the better nights of the RWTL, but that's really not saying a lot with this tournament. It was a decent show overall.
