Winners: Bullet Club (Marty Scurll, Nick Jackson & Matt Jackson), your new NEVER Openweight Six Man Tag Team Champions
The loss puts an end to Bad Luck Fale's and the Guerillas of Destiny's reign at 118 days. This was the second time this trio from the Bullet Club won the titles, having first won them last December. They lost the titles at Wrestle Kingdom 12 to Chaos members Beretta, Tomohiro Ishii and Toru Yano but then recaptured the titles the next day at New Year's Dash.
For the Bucks, this would be the third reign as the 6-man tag titles and their first titles won in New Japan since they announced they would be moving up to the heavyweight tag team division. This is Scurll's second overall title won in his short time in New Japan Pro Wrestling after he previously held the IWGP junior heavyweight title.
