Tag Team Matchup (Read below first)
Shinsuke Nakamura & Kazuchika Okada Vs Heavy Machinery (Otis & Tucker)
Nakamura in some strange fashion does not want to tag in his partner, but wants to do it all himself. This both confuses and pisses Okada off during the match, forcing him to blind-tag to get into the ring. But this only results in Nakamura blind-tagging him back at the first possible chance.
After the match there is some tension between partners Nakamira and Okada. They yell at each other in japanese, both seemingly pretty pissed, but Okada is the most furious one of them. The commentators try to translate as good as they can. Something with Nakamura always taking the spotlight and putting Okada down or something. Then, from out of nowhere. Superkick from Nakamura! It sends Okada straight down, flat out cold on the canvas. Nakamura kneels in front of Okada on the canvas, then Nakamura's music cranks the arena speakers, and Nakamura does some kind of ceremonial dance in the ring before he leaves it. The show ends with Okada out cold in the middle of the ring, while Nakamura makes it to the backstage, blowing a kiss in Okada's direction before we cut.....
