It will air on AXS this year starting just two days after the event. Fastest turnaround ever for the AXS show, besides the time they aired the US show live.

Those six matches look great. Can't wait to see what fills this card out.

Besides Jericho/Omega, card looks awesome. Really interested to see how Jay does in a big spot like this

I really wish NJPW would scrap the weight divisions. You can't tell me you wouldn't watch KUSHIDA vs Omega again. Or Hiromu vs Tanahashi.

That's shocking. Glad I will be able to see this so quickly. Overall, AXS has been pretty solid on airing the shows fairly recently after they have occurred.

I thought the AXS airing was only going to be three hours and thus not the full show.

They will air the rest of the matches in their normal weekly timeslot, one hour's worth at a time.

Just saw the ass kicking Jericho laid down on Omega and the subsequent retaliation by the latter at a press conference. I think this storyline has good heat and am surprised more people aren't​ talking about it.

Cody vs Ibushi is still happening, but it's a special singles match now instead of a title match

Would be cool to see him brought in for SCOH. Dalton vs. Ibushi for the strap.

I just can't possibly bring myself to care about Suzuki vs. Goto.

That match would be serviceable too.
