This amazing show is stacked from top to bottom, with two fantastic co-main event matches, with the closing match, Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, is a thing of beauty.

Key matches: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (IWGP IC Title), Kazuchika Okada vs. Tetsuya Naito (IWGP World Title), Kota Ibushi vs. Prince Devitt (IWGP Junior title)
