The announcers welcome us to the show and note that tonight’s Wrestle Kingdom 20 is sold out at the Tokyo Dome.
Preshow: Shoma Kato & Tatsuya Murashima vs. Katsuya Murashima & Masatora Yasuda
Murashima and Matsumoto locked up in a stalemate inside the Tokyo Dome, until Yasuda shifted momentum with back-to-back suplexes. Kato stormed in with a suplex to Murashima, then landed three straight bodyslams to stay on top. Murashima answered with a Back-Body Drop and followed up with the Murashima Stampede. Gritting his teeth, he locked in a Boston Crab and forced Kato to tap.
Winner: Katsuya Murashima & Masatora Yasuda
