The rivalry between Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega, and The Don Callis Family, continued Wednesday night in a special Sega-sponsored Like A Dragon Street Fight putting The Golden Jets, Kota Ibushi, and Paul Wight against Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher, Powerhouse Hobbs, and "The Machine" Brian Cage.
A wild, chaotic match ensued, with bodies battered and bloodied, leading to a finish that saw Omega and Jericho duct tape Hobbs to the ropes before the former delivered One-Winged Angel to Cage for the win.
This was not this writer's thing, perse, but that should not discount the efforts of the competitors and the fans, who ate it all up.
The match was what it was, delivered what was promised, but did beg the question: what's next for the Don Callis Family?
This was another big loss in the same week that Jericho defeated Takeshita in the DDT Pro ring.
What credibility does the thrown-together faction have at this point?

Top Moments and Takeaways
- Those Big Show chops to the chest will never not be devastating. Hobbs recovered nicely, slamming Wight on the top of a car in the parking lot.
- Omega hit Fletcher with a bottle and cut his hand up pretty badly, to the point that he nursed it throughout the rest of the match.
- The tombstone from Fletcher to Ibushi, through a sign and several chairs at ringside, was cringeworthy in that it is nearly impossible to imagine a scenario where it did not hurt like hell for everyone involved.
