Result: Takagi puts Sho away with the Last of the Dragon to win the titles (6:51).

Rating: Following the Ospreay-Ibushi match was a thankless job for anyone, but even so, this was a surprisingly low-gear, short bout that never really got fully going.

It certainly wasn't ever less than a decent sprint given the time constraints, but it also didn't do anything remarkable or memorable for the men involved.

Having the champs lose the titles without getting pinned is an obvious way to create future drama, but this was basically an also-ran without being quite as uninspired as Cody-Juice. 6/10
