Yeah

At least match had some excitement, much better than the Dominion match. I give it a rating of ”ok I guess”

Man that match really was saved by going only 26 minutes, I think Gedo's fixed it

The match has been enjoyable enough but it has been the sloppiest match of the night and a real mess booking wise.

And there it is, my predictions were 100% incorrect from start to finish :lol:

Yeah, SANADA showing fire was great, and LIJ actually supporting their leader/friend was good stuff.

Wouldn't go so far as to call it great but it was serviceable, just not when compared to the rest of the card. Shortest first reign since Tenzan in '03 from EVIL

I was really worried it would go 30+ minutes given how the first 5 had only been a combined 2 hours, but I am glad it did not.

Naito is double champion, LIJ are friends, we get the rollcall and the Naitailures are wrapped up. All is good in the world :unsmith:

So who challenges now? Most of the people who I'd think would challenge are either champions in other divisions, have recently lost matches or not allowed in the country

njpw's modus operandi for whatever reason, is whenever they crown a champion for the first time, their first run is usually a short one with maaaaaaybe 1 or 2 defenses, chalked up to the inexperience of the wrestler. it's happened with okada, with naito, with jay white, with AJ Styles, and EVIL. the only one who got a lengthy first run was kenny omega, who was originally going to hold it until G1 Supercard before he left NJPW.

Tomohiro Ishii.

Not for any storyline reason, just because Ishii and Naito have loving banger matches.

Or maybe Suzuki decides he wants ALL the belts to go with his Never Openweight title.....
