After their second night of A Block competition Lance Archer, Kenta and Kazuchika Okada are tied at the top of the division, each having won two matches in a row.

In a battle of the big men, Fale kicked out of a chokeslam leaving Archer and the crowd completely shocked. Archer had to resort to his new finishing move – the EVD (Everybody Dies) Claw – to pin Fale.

It was a real clash of Japanese wrestling styles when Kenta and Hiroshi Tanahashi clashed in tonight’s main event. Kenta opened things up with a hard slap to the face which sparked some boos from the crowd. Tanahashi slapped him back as they engaged in a slugfest.

As Tanahashi played air guitar after slamming Kenta and dropping an elbow smash on him, Kenta no sold it kicking Tanahashi in the head. The crowd didn’t like that at all. The battle went to the floor where Kenta DDT’ed Tanahashi on the concrete floor and slammed head-first into a steel post.

In a clear message to the NJPW locker room that this is the Kenta of old not Hideo Itami, sent Tanahashi to Dreamland with a running knee strike and his Go to Sleep finisher.
