| X1 CLIMAX SPECIAL 1. BLOCK B: Sheamus vs Shinsuke Nakamura
Two men that are generally hated by the fans here and thus the crowd was interested by not overly vocal. Sheamus gets the FRH on Shinsuke. He looks to follow with a Brogue Kick but instead eats a leaping kick from Nakamura. Landslide from Nakamura. 1.. 2.. kickout. Shinsuke set up for the Boma Ye. He charges... right into a Brogue Kick! 1.. 2.. 3!
Winner: Sheamus (+2 Pts)
2. BLOCK A: Hangman Page vs Bad Luck Fale
Page relishes any chance to take out a member of his former Bullet Club teammates. Huge size difference here but Hangman does have the speed advantage. Unfortunately he is not a speed oriented wrestler. So Fale begins to take over this one. Fale goes for the Bad Luck Fall but Page gets free and hits a Flying knee to the back of Fale. He goes for Adam's Apple but is caught and gets hit with the Grenade. 1.. 2.. 3!
Winner: Bad Luck Fale (+2 Pts)
3. BLOCK B: The Fallen Angel vs AJ Styles
This is both men's very first X1 Climax match and they put on a show. Styles locks in the Calf Killer on Father Daniels but he makes the ropes. Later Daniels catches AJ with Fall From Grace. Then locks in a Koji Clutch. AJ barely makes the ropes. They wind up spilling to the floor where they continue to fight. The ref tries to get them back in but they are locked in the heat of battle and are counted out.
Double Countout: (1 Pt Each)
4. Ring of Gold vs The iiConics
Terri & Tiana give a nice showing but the Australian Team has been fired up since returning. They hit a few signature Double team spots before ending it with Sick Knee From Sydney.
Winners: The iiConics
5. BLOCK A: Sami Zayn vs Kenny Omega
Zayn was the only man who had any points coming into tonight's show. He and Kenny have faced off before with Omega coming out on top. Here Sami is looking to change that and is really aggressive. Choking Kenny on the ropes. Ramming his head into the turnbuckle. He looks to fire him into the ropes but its reversed and Omega hits an overhead Belly to Belly. Kenny nails the V-Trigger. Then gets him up... One-Winged Angel! He gets the 3 count.
Winner: Kenny Omega (+2 Pts)
6. BLOCK B: "Magnum" Adam Cole vs Shawn Michaels
The two rivals face off once again. This is Cole's first match since losing the the World Heavyweight Championship. Many felt it was having to continually hold off the stiff challenges from Michaels that wore him down to finally get beaten by Cena. Cole is fighting with a fervor tonight. He nails a Cole-lateral for a 2 count. He later connects on a Corona Kick. Then hits the Florida Key... 1.. 2.. NO! Cole then goes up for Panama Sunrise but when he leaps he is caught mid-air with Sweet Chin Music! HBK doesn't cover... he waits a second Sweet Chin Music! 1.. 2.. 3!!!!
Winner: Shawn Michaels (+2 Pts)
Main Event: BLOCK A: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Kazuchika Okada
This is the 5Th meeting of what is considered the greatest rivalry in XWA history. Their record against each other is 2-2. The crowd is buzzing during introductions. Although great rivals they have a respect for one another. They shake hands then all hell breaks loose. Tanahashi early on is targeting the leg of Okada. Hitting a few Dragon Leg Whips. Kazuchika is targeting the head and neck area, no doubt trying to soften him up for his finisher, The Rainmaker.
Okad snapmares Tanahashi over hitting a running double footed dropkick to the side of the head. He brings Tanahashi outside and sends him hard into the guard railing. He looks for Heavy Rain out on the floor but Hiroshi blocks it and hits Shake, Rattle & Roll out on the floor. Tanahashi returns to the ring to stop the 20 count. He then climbs the ropes and nails a standing Okada with a High Fly Flow out on the floor.
Both men are now trading elbow shivers on the floor. The referee is counting when he gets to 18 they both look up at him then dive into the ring at 19, which gets an applause from the fans. The fight continues with Tanahashi applying a Cloverleaf on the worn down leg of Okada but he fights to the ropes but just as he gets there Tana pulls him back to the center. Okada has to fight again and somehow finally gets to the ropes but his leg is in great pain.
Tana looks for the Snapdragon Suplex. But Okada breaks free and gets in Red Ink. Now its Hiroshi who needs a rope break to save himself. Both men are battered and bruised. Then Okada catches Tanahashi with his Dropkick and gives the Rainmaker pose. He pulls him up for the Rainmaker but Tanahashi ducks it! Snapdragon Suplex! He goes up for the High Fly Flow.... Okada gets his knees up! Tana is down in pain but Okada is in great pain in his knee. He struggles up., grabs Tanahashi ... Rainmaker... is ducked again and Hiroshi has the legs of Okada! He gets in another Cloverleaf center ring. Okada tries to fight but he's taken too much damage... He taps!!!
Winner: Hiroshi Tanahashi (+2 Pts)
