Next, the trio of Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Tomohiro Ishii beat Minoru Suzuki, Ren Narita, and El Desperado of Strong Style to win the NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Championship. Ahead of the show, Okada was set to challenge for the gold with two mystery partners, which subsequently turned out to be Ishii and Tanahashii.
With the win, the team of Okada, Tanahashi, and Ishii won the titles for the first time. Tanahashi is a four-time champion and Ishii is a three-time champion, while this reign marks Okada’s first. Strong Style previously won the titles at NJPW The New Beginning In Osaka.
