Match 2: In a Match Relampago, which in Mexico is a traditional 1 Fall match with a 10 minute time limit, Tiger Mask vs. Magnus went to a 10 minute time limit draw. (In Mexico, or at least in CMLL, matches normally are 3 Falls)

The next event is tomorrow at Towa Pharmaceutical Ractab Dome Sub Arena in Osaka. There will be no live broadcast. NJPW WORLD English commentator Walker Stewart said last week there will be on demand in English but based on what New Japan’s websites and NJPW WORLD’s listings I would plan on no on demand for the next 2 events (tomorrow & Wednesday) then it will be live & on demand the rest of the series.
