Full results from tonight's show: {Spoiler}{SPOILER}* The DKC def. Kevin Knight
* Hikuleo def. Andy Brown
* Buddy Matthews def. Yuya Uemura
* JR Kratos and Black Tiger def. Wheeler Yuta and Rocky Romero. Kratos cut a promo after the match tearing down Coughlin, who came out for a brawl with Kratos.
* Big Damo def. John Skyler
* Finjuice def. JONAH and Shane Haste by DQ due to steel chair use by Haste. FinJuice eventually ran TDMK off and made a challenge for themselves and Brogan Finlay against JONAH, Haste, and Bad Dude Tito at NJPW Windy City Riot.
* NJPW STRONG Openweight Championship Match: Filthy Tom Lawlor def. Clark Connors. Lawlor then announced he’s taking a vacation since he gets to choose his next challenger. Fred Rosser came out and said he was the next challenger, but Lawlor said no.
* Mascara Dorada def. TJP
* Josh Alexander def. Karl Fredericks. QT Marshall, Aaron Solo, and Nick Comoroto appeared after the match and tried recruit Fredericks. Fredericks turned them down and was attacked until Connors and Uemura ran down for the save. Fredericks challenged Marshall to a match at Windy City Riot.
* Swerve Strickland def. Blake Christian
* Jay Lethal def. Ren Narita
* Fred Rosser and Eddie Kingston def. Fred Yehi and Daniel Garcia.
* Jay White def. Chris Sabin. White then addressed Guerrillas of Destiny and Jado being kicked out of Bullet Club and told Hikuleo he could stay. Hikuleo said he was part of the group but didn’t want to be associated with White, and they parted ways. Interesting way to handle Hikuleo's spot.

While watching Cima/Okada, it really hit me just how much influence the Ultimo Dragon has on professional wrestling in 2022. It's absolutely insane how mobile he still is the last time I saw him, when he popped up in NOAH semi-recently. If anything, he looked quicker than he was in WCW, somehow.

I could watch Sabre mock Ospreay all day. He's generally good for a hilarious interview, anyway, but Ospreay gives him a lot of ammo due to their shared history.

Sabre beaten Shingo before, and he also put Naito on the shelf and dropped out of the G1.
He can easily win the Cup

I'm going Naito/ZSJ final; the story stemming from last year's G1 opener is just too good.
Shingo/Naito was also taken from us in the G1- I'd be so down for that too.

Ospreay was slapping his hand in a motion to signify he's giving up

If Naito beats Okada Saturday, I expect the roof to be blown off of Osaka

You know, a surprising absence from this has been Robbie Eagles. Don't know if he got hurt or if something happened that kept him from the tournament.

Probably a case of wanting to be home for a bit between tours, as I assume he is a sure thing for Best of the Super Junior around the corner.

So I'm out of the loop a bit but why is Okada in this?
Doesn't the IWGP champ usually sit this tournament out?

So I'm out of the loop a bit but why is Okada in this? Doesn't the IWGP champ usually sit this tournament out? The tournament was announced as a huge 48 man field (though really 46 as Kota and Tenzan had to drop due to injury) with the singles champions and juniors included. Okada requested Desperado in the first round when this was announced. Which if you are too look up any matches of the tourney, Okada vs Desperado from Night 1 has arguably been the best match so far.
