NJPW Power Struggle From Osaka, Japan:

King of Pro Wrestling Provisional Trophy:  Toru Yano vs. Zack Sabre Jr. (no turnbuckle match)

Yano ties the boots of ZSJ to the ringside guardrails.   ZSJ gets counted out.  Yano retains to KOPW Trophy.   Fine for what it was.  Yano is always good for comedy.

Will Ospreay is at ringside in a suit.   Okada locked in the Money Clip on O-Khan and his eyes looked glazed.  The referee stopped the match.  Okada wins.    O-Khan is helped from the ring.   Ospreay enters ring and addresses Okada.    Ospreay challenges Okada at Wrestle Kingdom at the Tokyo Dome.   He promises to end Okada’s career.    Okada accepts the challenge and he will crush Ospreay.

They highlight the match ups and dates for the Best of Super Jr. 27:

IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Double Championship Right to Challenge Contract:  Kota Ibushi vs. Jay White, with Gedo
