(1) Minoru Tanaka, Daiki Inaba & Hiroki Murase vs. Hiroshi Yamato, Andy Wu & El Hijo del Pantera
◆Winner: Yamato (9:55) following a Northern Light Bomb on Murase.
~ Yamato, his current gimmick being that he is the “singer”, came out singing a new song for his entrance

(2) W-1 vs Novus: Ryota Hama vs. Rionne Fujiwara
◆Winner: Hama (3:04) with the Ookido Press.
~ Hama-chan closes out 2014 with a quick victory.

(3) new WILD order vs Tokyo Gurentai Tag Match: AKIRA & Manabu Soya vs. NOSAWA Rongai & MAZADA
◆Winner: Soya (6:14) following a Wild Bomber on MAZADA.
~ WILD with the quick win, the duo end of the year on a high note in their pursuit to get another shot at the tag belts.

(4) Novus vs DESPERADO Tag Match: Koji Doi & Jiro “Ikemen” Kuroshio vs. Ryoji Sai [ZERO1] & KAZMA SAKAMOTO
◆Winner: KAZMA (7:20) with a Michinoku Driver II on Kuroshio.
~ KAZMA tried to offer Ikemen another chance to join DESPERADO, but he refused which led to Doi turning on Ikemen and officially accepting the open position in the group.

◆Winner: Yasufumi (15:14) following the Nakaue (running elbow strike).
~ Yasufumi closes out the year with a much needed decisive win.

(6) KASSEN Special Tag Match ~ WRESTLE vs ZERO1 War: Masakatsu Funaki & KAI vs. Masato Tanaka & Hideki Suzuki
◆Winner: DRAW (2:11) Double Ring Out, between Funaki and Hideki.
Restart
◆Winner: No Contest (11:50) Funaki and Hideki, ref stopped the match.
~ Lots of heat between Funaki and Hideki as the two were more or less uncontrollable when they crossed each other during the match. The two had to be pulled apart after the match.
~ Hideki called out for a singles match against Funaki.

(7) WRESTLE-1 Tag Championship Match: [1st Champions] “Team 246” Kaz Hayashi & Shuji Kondo vs. [Challengers] “DESPERADO” Masayuki Kono & TAJIRI
◆Winner: Kaz (15:47) following a Diving Body Press off of a ladder on TAJIRI.
~ 2nd successful title defense.
~ The match turned into chaos as tables, chairs, and even a ladder were used in the match, while the ref was incapacitated.
~ WILD even came out to try and reclaim some order in the match, as Kondo was tied up in the ropes and Hayashi was outnumbered by DESPERADO.
~ Yasufumi and Kodama then came out to challenge the champions. Shocking alliance given their feud for the last several months, but it appears with Doi joining DESPERADO and Ikemen aligned with Funaki that, the former WNC rookie group, Novus may be no more.

(8) WRESTLE-1 Championship Match: [2nd Champion] Keiji Mutoh vs. [Challenger] Seiya Sanada
◆Winner: Mutoh (21:24) with a Figure Four Leg Lock.
~ 1st successful title defense.
~ Sanada tried his best against the veteran but once more fell to him this year.
~ Manabu Soya came out to assert himself as a potential contender against Mutoh.
