Main Card
Konosuke Takeshita (c) defeated Chase Owens for the NJPW World Television Championship
Owens jumped Takeshita before the bell; fortunately for the champ, he subverted this with a DDT on the floor. The challenger recovered by kicking his opponent into the blue steel guardrails and spiking him onto the apron moments into the match. Trading knee strikes, a C-Trigger by Owens got the better of Takeshita. Yujiro Takahashi blindsided Takeshita to lend Owens time for a comeback for his finisher, High Noon.
Owens tossed the referee into Takeshita. Takahashi pulled Takeshita in a full-nelson while Owens pulled out a branding iron. House of Torture descended upon Takeshita. Shota Umino showed up in support of the champion, and eventually, multiple babyfaces of the roster soon joined. Takeshita flung the referee back into action. Owens blasted Takeshita with horse stirrups. Takeshita responded with two Power Drives and a Raging Fire.
Post-match: Still wondering where his NJPW World Television Championship was, Takeshita immediately found himself submerged in darkness. A video showed the masked man from Sakura Genesis strutting around backstage. They entered, appearing behind Takeshita, delivering a Skull End. It was SANADA.
The story of Takeshita finding his place among the babyfaces, despite being seen as an outsider, was wholesome. That said, it would make sense to have this type of support whenever House of Torture matches happen, because come on, they’re an ongoing nuisance, and their tomfoolery can almost always be assured. It was a nice surprise to see SANADA, though.
