Not all was smooth for KENTA. He was on the receiving end of a dropkick as Time Machine pulled his limbs in opposite directions around the ring post.

KENTA’s big moment was an offensive blitz for a running kick in the corner, running dropkick, and flying double stomp to Sabin. The Motor City Machine Gun kicked out. KENTA aimed to finish with the Go To Sleep, but Sabin escaped before the trigger was pulled.
In the end, Time Machine had momentum with teamwork moves on Ace. Kushida took flight to connect. Shelley was next, but Bey grabbed his foot to prevent lift-off. KENTA pulled Kushida out of the ring. Ace surprised Sabin with a backslide to win.
KENTA was successful in leading the Bullet Club to victory in his Impact debut.
