The opening moments of the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship Match at New Japan's Toyonokuni show was absolutely incredible. Ricochet was in turbo speed, delivering a series of successive high-risk moves. He probably was hoping that he could do to Takahashi exactly what he did to KUSHIDA.

There would be no lightning-fast finishes during this title defense because even though Ricochet hit a beautiful springboard 450, it wasn't enough to put the champ away.
