NJPW Power Struggle Results: New Champion Crowned, Former WWE Champion Challenges Omega & More

FIFTH MATCH: CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada, Hirooki Goto, Tomohiro Ishii, YOSHI-HASHI & Gedo) vs. Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito, BUSHI, EVIL, Hiromu Takahashi & Sanada)

This match features some great wrestling between Goto & EVIL and Ishii & SANADA, but the true story of this match was Okada vs. Naito. Naito had the advantage early when the future Wrestle Kingdom opponents met in this tag match. He spit in the champ’s eye and even press slammed him on the entrance ramp. The crowd hated every move. Naito is a pure villain to Okada’s classic hero.

After a relentlessly brutal series of counters, BUSHI gets involved with The Rainmaker. Naito tries to take advantage but eats a Tombstone Piledriver. Okada hits the Rainmaker on BUSHI and pins him while taunting Naito.

WINNERS: CHAOS
