IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Title: Prince Devitt & Ryusuke Taguchi (c) defeated Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega when Devitt pinned Omega after the Black Sunday (15:01).
*V6 for Apollo 55.

The Golden Lovers returned to New Japan Pro Wrestling to battle with Apollo 55 once more over the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Titles. It was the fourth time these two teams faced each other with the belts on the line. This time Prince Devitt & Ryusuke Taguchi were victorious when Devitt pinned Kenny Omega with the Black Sunday double team finisher. Apollo 55 and The Golden Lovers both have two wins each in their series but surely it will be a long time until they wrestle each other again.
