Third Match: CHAOS (YOSHI-HASHI, Will Ospreay & Beretta) vs. Bullet Club (Kenny Omega, Marty Scurll & Chase Owens)
Marty Scurll is dressed as Aladdin. Chase Owens is The Genie. Kenny Omega is…PRINCESS JASMINE. This match is too goofy to accurately describe. There are numerous spots involving Scurll’s magic carpet. Princess Kenny at one point receives assistance from an inflatable monkey. Aladdin & Jasmine kiss. Beretta eventually hits Owens with a Dudebuster on the magic carpet for the pinfall. Go. Find. This. Marvelous. Ridiculous. Bonkers. Touching. Wild. Match.
After the match, Beretta assaults Omega, effectively challenging the IWGP US Champion.
WINNERS: CHAOS, everyone.
Author’s note: “Zombie Princess” Jimmy Jacobs didn’t take kindly to Kenny Omega dressing as a princess.
There’s only one Princess, @KennyOmegamanX https://t.co/yar9MvLPSV

Fourth Match: Kota Ibushi, Juice Robinson, David Finlay, Dragon Lee & Titan vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi, Togi Makabe, Katsuya Kitamura, Hirai Kawato & KUSHIDA.
This was a whirlwind of a 10-man tag match. It started with a thrilling exchange between Ibushi & Tanahashi, followed by a fun bit of brawling from Makabe & Robinson. Dragon Lee & Titan continued to wow the NJPW crowd with their inventive, patriotic double team moves. Kushida & Dragon Lee eventually had a breathless exchange that found them barely touching the ground at points. The match’s finish saw Kawato get nearfall after nearfall on Finlay. The NJPW audience is madly in love with Kawato, and they were audibly thrilled at the prospect of him picking up the win for his team. Finlay eventually hit a Lariat and a Stunner to pin Kawato and send the crowd to intermission.
WINNERS: Kota Ibushi, Juice Robinson, David Finlay, Dragon Lee & Titan.
