That main event! this show has some good potential

So the White & Gedo vs. Tanahashi & KUSHIDA match is either going to have 1) a non-finish, 2) KUSHIDA getting pinned even though he's headed to the tournament finals, or 3) Gedo getting pinned in his first match after his turn. They really should have swapped KUSHIDA with Flip or Taguchi.

yeap, agree, team Tanahashi could have taken the fall here. Maybe they'll do a DQ
