Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Shota vs. Soma Takao, Tetsuya Endo & Yuji Hino

[6.0] "This was a satisfying match. Endo looked very good in this match, he one on ones with Hirata and Shota were great."

[7.0] "It was good, but I expected a bit longer battle. Everybody did their job well, but for me it was not a title match quality show."

[6.0] "The finish really came out of nowhere, they could've done a lot more to be honest, but glad the right team won."

[8.0] "The special charm of DDT is their attitude to the tag team division, the matches meet the expected quality and the wrestlers do their best to show that this is not second-rate material. The beginning with Hirata and Takao was wonderful, they had good chemistry and the quick exchange of reverses amazed me. Hirata vs Hino is my favorite part, I like how Kazuki's serve changes without global changes of Kazuki himself, he is still the same, but now, despite his weaknesses, he is taken much more seriously, which he proved even if not in the battle with Yuji, but in the segment with Endo. Akito did a good job with his material, and Shota was also amused, bringing the same meaning to the clash with Hino as Kazuki, but setting it up on a whole new level. A lot of things could have been done better, especially the ending, where Takao again didn't bother to sell the attack, but it's still a good match with an interesting result (****)."

[7.0] "I really liked this match, the fact that they started with Hirata was a good choice to me and I liked his performance in the match even if for me DAMNATION shined a lot more than the champions. Endo and Hino were the bests here, Endo's wrestling style is simply awesome. Hino's Chops were pretty impactful. ***1/2"

[7.0] "A quick title match that never quiet hit the height I hoped it would but still a good match between good workers"

[5.0] "Pretty disappointing, felt too much like a regular six-man tag and not a title match. Endo is so good, Hino has an amazing monster heel presentation, but I don't like Soma Takao, he gives me slight Yoshi-Hashi vibes. At one point, Endo tagged Soma in as he rolled out, and Soma nearly stood on Endo's head. He just doesn't look polished. Ideally Endo and Hino would just pair up. The Champion team was a total non-factor."
