[edit]Storylines
[edit]Final Battle featured fifteen different multiple professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either villains or heroes in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match involving two proportions of the show (Pre and main.) instead of one.[1][2]
The shows main event featured Arashi & The Great Muta verses The Prophecy (Christopher Daniels & Dan Maff) with Allison Danger in their corner for the AJPW World Tag Team Championships.
