8-MAN TAG TEAM MATCH

Sho Tanaka, Mascara Dorada, Ryusuke Taguchi, Tiger Mask vs. Jay White, Yohei Komatsu, KUSHIDA, Jushin Thunder Liger

Liger starts things off with a surfboard stretch on Tanaka. Team Liger takes turns working him over, including some impressive offense from KUSHIDA. Taguchi makes the hot tag and does the butt bump to all four of them. Dorada does a springboard crossbody and KUSHIDA turns his headscissors into a snap DDT. He sells clotheslines from everyone until Taguchi saves the match. Dorada hits a triangle dropkick and his corkscrew senton bomb to pin Jay White.
