So for some cliff notes:
- Yuma Anzai is a rookie, debuted in September last year and just had his first challenge for the belt yesterday. Massive upside, Nagata wanted him for the NJPW dojo but he chose AJPW
- Atsuki Aoyagi (light hair) is the younger brother, 22 years old and the AJPW junior Ace
- Yuma Aoyagi (dark hair) is older at 27, currently tag champs with Kento and on the cusp of a triple crown run. He and his brother also hold the Tenryu Project tag titles
- Kento Miyahara is by far the biggest star in the promotion, if he wasn't so loyal to All Japan he would have been a star somewhere bigger years ago. His entrance is always super long so he always comes first even when the champ

From NJPW Global's Twitter

Yuma Aoyagi: You didn't forget right, I challenged you for that belt yesterday! Nice to meet you all, I am AJPW's Yuma Aoyagi. Yesterday, Nagata defended that Triple Crown Championship, and then I challenged, but he said he wouldn't answer until today. So let's have it. Please answer my challenge!
Yuji Nagata: Aoyagi, Aoyagi, relax! As far as I'm concerned, you're my next challenger. Create any kind of trap you can for me, because I'll get through it all!
Yuma Aoyagi: In that case I'll pass on all this to the PWF committee and make sure this gets done!

Its a Revolution/Stone Pitbull shirt so it's also a Tenryu shirt and given Red Shoes started in WAR he probably wore it here for Tenryu (who is having some health problems right now)

i do wonder how they’ll structure this show as the two other announced matches feel bigger than the ones for each company’s top belt

I've vibed that they're promoting Okada/Danielson the way they would the main event for other PPVs (first spot in the rundowns), which makes sense as it's the biggest starpower match and it's got the "never before seen" edge over Omega/Ospreay

If it's was anywhere but Canada I'd say you main with Okada/Bryan but I think you should have Kenny/Ospreay be the main in Canada.

It's not that kind of test.
Ospreay/Omega also has a title on the line which might put it over Okada/Danielson.

Ugh why are big shows included with World but Strong shows $30? And why am I going to pay anyway?

Having two Bishamon/War Dogs matches in a row for each set of belts is a questionable choice. I assume each team takes a title but then it still feels unresolved.
