We Got Us A Bread

I would guess at some point he probably hashed out what his ideas for the belt were with someone from the New Japan booking team (probably Rocky), it went through Gedo, Gedo said “I like it!” and NJPW gave him the approval to run the booking he came up with, with New Japan asking that they try to keep challengers to guys either currently tied to or with strong pasts with New Japan and to book the belt strongly as it’s their co-secondary title alongside the NEVER belt now.

I have to imagine Archer will suddenly be added to the NJPW Resurgence card on August 14th, defend the belt there, carry it around on Dynamite for a bit, defend it every so often, and either fly over for the Wrestle Grand Slam show in September, Power Struggle in November, or just holds onto it until the Dome in January and drops it to Cobb on a New Japan show.

Archer's been talking about wanting to go back to NJPW for months now, so it's probably a "since Lance is coming back to us, and we want the title back in-house, put the belt on him please." thing. The NJPW titles are entirely controlled by NJPW (according to Meltzer), so any ideas come from them on that front, and Tony works with what they want.
