10. Tokyo Dome IWGP Heavyweight Title #1 Contender Match: Kazuchika Okada beat Karl Anderson (19:55) with the Rainmaker.

* Naito challenged Okada to a shot at his #1 contendership after the main event. This is a repeat of 2012 when Okada also won the G1 and risked his January title shot, beating Anderson and Goto that year. He beat Anderson today and next in line is Naito…

* After success in a tag match, Tanahashi challenged AJ Styles and it looks like those two could headline KOPW next month.

* YOSHI-HASHI’s second title shot in three days ended in failure as he lost to the Bullet Club’s Yujiro in a NEVER Openweight Title bout. Ishii issued a challenge after the match, wanting to take back the NEVER belt.

* KUSHIDA immediately bounced by from losing his IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title by successfully defending the IWGP Jr. Tag Team Title with Shelley over El Desperado and Taichi. Both Forever Hooligans and the Young Bucks want a shot at the belts, so a 3WAY Match could be coming up at Sumo Hall.

* BUSHI challenged Chase Owens for a shot at the NWA World Jr. Heavyweight Title during the show, another match that could take place at Sumo Hall next month.
