Results
Match notes
Takagi and Cobb won. The two beat Moxley and Yuta after a chaotic finish in which Cobb powerbombed Yuta out of an armbar and pinned him, per TPWW. The match set up a Moxley vs. Takagi bout at Wrestle Kingdom 21.
Knockout Brothers kept the tag titles by disqualification. The result means the champions retain, so United Empire did not win the belts.
Omega pinned Tsuji. Omega won the non-title three-way over Tsuji and Boltin Oleg. He went after Tsuji, not Oleg, for the finish, per PWTorch. The result led to Omega vs. Tsuji for the IWGP Heavyweight Title at Wrestle Kingdom 21.
Super Junior Tag League final. Ishimori and Robbie X won their first Super Junior Tag League. Outlets list the time as 11:08 (PWMania, Bodyslam, POST's results list) and 11:13 (POST's text and Wrestle Purists), so we show both.

Kidd vs. Taichi. Kidd kept the title with the Death Dog Driver after a 30-minute match, per POST and PWMania.

Yuya Uemura ran in to make the save and vowed to end Kidd. Moxley then dropped Uemura with a Death Rider, and Takagi came out and was also hit, per PWTorch and TPWW. Backstage, Kidd confirmed he will defend the title against Uemura at Wrestle Kingdom 21 on Jan. 4, per POST.
