Match 1: C Block
Aaron Henare vs Tanahashi
When Aaron Henare arrived at NJPW, he was under the name Toa Henare. He went through the Dojo system and graduated. Henare was then placed with Main Corps which includes Tanahashi. Tanahashi has a different ideology than most wrestlers when it comes to the psychology and in-ring style for wrestling. Those teachings didn’t work for Henare and finally broke away to join United Empire.
Henare vs Tanahashi was a hard-hitting match. Tanahashi didn’t know how to deal with Henare’s new added muscle. Tanahashi put up a wonderful offense - that Tanahashi special but Henare was able to overpower Tanahashi.
Winner: Henare
Aaron Henare = 2 points
Tanahashi = 0 point
Match 3: Block B
Sanada vs Jay White (IWGP World Heavyweight Champion)
Jay White tries so much to break the crowd by asking them to cheer. It doesn’t work. Jay is so good in the ring; Sanada is so good as a follower in the ring. Jay and Sanada are good at countering each other, trying to one-up on who can hit their finisher first. Jay has wrestlers breathe with him when he attacks their ribs; his oppoents will have trouble breathing. Very standard match for the opening night. Jay White just got started.
Winner: Jay White
Jay White = 2 points
Sanada = 0 points
