House Of Torture (SANADA, SHO & Yoshinobu Kanemaru) defeat Konosuke Takeshita, Taisei Nakahara & Toru Yano

Think this was setting up a potential NJPW World TV title match between Takeshita and SANADA I'll be honest this deep into the tour I'm completely checked with these preview tags and the House of Torture definitely doesn't help that matter. Team good guy lost to team bad guy I would assume that means something.

Gabe Kidd \[12\] defeats Ren Narita \[10\] 

The battle between Ren Narita and Gabe Kidd began, unsurprisingly, before the bell even rang. The two brawled through the crowd, with chairs and umbrellas becoming weapons as the violence escalated.The fight continued through chairs and guardrails, with Kidd taking things even further by choking Narita with an umbrella. The HOUSE OF TORTURE member fought fire with fire, while referee Asami struggled to bring some semblance of order to the chaos.

Dick Togo and SHO joined the fray, adding even more disorder before a table was set up. Kidd made use of the wooden furniture, Powerbombing Narita through the table and down the steps. Finally making it back into the ring, Narita delivered a low blow, bringing the chaos to the ring of the bell. Kidd intercepted Narita from the top rope with a piledriver before hitting Drill a Hole Piledriver for the victory.

Gabe ends his tournament strong but due to tournament mathematics that some one can explain better he did not make the cut so it ends here for him. After the match he called out Shota Umino who was pulled from the tournament due to concussion symptoms, presumably setting up an IWGP Global Heavyweight match.
