>If you believe the interview direction, it appears the Tokyo Dome direction is Kazuchika Okada vs. Kota Ibushi for the IWGP title on the 1/4 Tokyo Dome show, and that the winner would then face the IC champion on 1/5 with the idea you’d end the weekend with the first person in company history to hold both titles at the same time. This has not been announced, but both Ibushi and Tetsuya Naito have been talking about holding both belts at the same time with Ibushi talking about winning the IWGP belt the first night and IC belt the second night with the idea of creating history.
Lads. Okada, Ibushi or Naito is walking away from Wrestle Kingdom weekend the first double champion.
I'd prefer Ibushi or White, but it'll probably come down to Okada/Naito on 1/5 with Naito winning.
Alexander Ortiz
It’s obviously happening. Naito keeps saying he’s waiting for a call from new Japan to make it official. Jay said he wants both belts too.

Julian Lewis
>naitetty fags still holding out hope Listen chumps, Okada isn’t losing in the main event of the Tokyo Dome until the next “Ace” is ready which is years away from now.
Easy there little zoomer, unification is from the territory days, before that it existed in other sports as well, and even countries when they went to war, dating back to the BC Era.
Xavier Moore
He lost to Kenny. NJPW isnt a shouldnt be a one man roster
Christopher Perez
The local audience isn't tired of them so why change for a bunch or weebs ?
Brody Kelly
Gotta admit, as high as the match quality is I felt the Okada / Tana / Naito / Goto / Ishii ad infinitum fatigue during this year's G1. Kenny really was a special X factor and Ospreay and Jay aren't the same.
Nicholas Walker
In the past few years we have now had Okada, Tana, AJ, Jericho, White, Naito, Shibata, Omega, Ibushi, and they have several other stars being made. You need a new champion every week? WCW 2000 is right up your alley.
Owen Flores
Pretty much guaranteed to be it's either Naito or Ibushi. Ibushi to ride that momentum or Naito for the shock win.
Brody Martin
seething bitch LMAO
Brody James
he didn't lose to kenny at the main event of tokyo dome
Jason Robinson
You may very well be a retard
William Long
LMAO
Austin Reed
It will be symbolic that the title who main evented OVER him one time will HELP him achieve the biggest tokyo dome main event win and achievement in new japan history.
Owen Ramirez
Also the title he's grown to love and respect after all the abuse he gave it. KINO
Joseph Morgan
>there are actually people who think Naito isn't going over Jokeada and finally becoming the champion he was meant to be at WK I have no idea why they would pick Ibushit over NaiGod
>if you believe the interview angle literally just mark news Naito wants both belts so he is able to get rid of the IC belt and Ibushi wants both belts because he wants to prove to [redacted] and Naito that he's better than them by doing something neither of them have. the front office has said nothing, to my knowledge, about title unification. The only way they follow through on this is if ticket sales are dismal, which I can't see being the case.
Elijah Sanders
>main eventing with the top guys is bad. Boy you marks really do cry about the weirdest things. Literally every wrestling promotion does this. Its how you draw.
Aiden Walker
Don't be obtuse. It's been the same guys for fucking ever and it is absolutely getting stale
seethe and dilate tranny Okada/Tana/Naito and the lads will main event FOREVER and you will love it
Jaxson Phillips
Its almost like they have a top 4 and they like making money
Lincoln Ortiz
>OCHADA beating Naietty for his belt on the biggest dome show
PLEASE GEDO, I WANT TO DRINK THOSE NAITO FAG TEARS
Daniel Powell
>nOOOOO you can't just have the same guys main event even if your attendance and revenue increases every year!
Colton Moore
>Naito Never had a full run, that's the whole point of his story. >Okada He's the new Ace and his long reign cemented him as the best guy >Tana He only had a transitional reign to Chadblade
It's not like they face each other all the fucking time, NJPW managed to get people into Chadblade, Ibushi, Kenny, fucking ZSJ. For big shows you use your big stars, but it's not like WWE where they just face each other all the fucking time. Some of hte best part of Okada's reign was when he was facing who's and had to adapt to their style.
Grayson Allen
Not getting stale at all.
Samuel Turner
This STOP MAKING MONEY REEEEE
Carson Johnson
>mfw shitters forget that Ochada is young as fuck despite his position and we have another decade or so of him at the top You better get used to him h8rs
>Gedo didn't put okada in the main last year so he could do 2 this year madlad
Easton Jones
>this is probably true basado desu
Oliver Anderson
Everyone knows Okada is the GOAT. It would just be nice for him to not main event with Naito, Tana or Ibushi once every few years
Daniel Stewart
>the big draws don't face the other big draws how the fuck do you make money then?
Connor Green
This
Landon Young
>Believing Naitoetty will be duel champion >Not Breathing with the Switchblade When will the Naito simps learn to change their way of breathing? Naito looks like he smells like cheap beer and cigarettes.(Also cheap aftershave) Meanwhile ChadBlade reeks of testosterone and main event dime drawing power
*steals your belt at destruction* *cucks you out of the main event of night two at night one* *loses to ibushi on night two to send the fans home happy*
>NOOOOOOOOO STOP HAVING MACHO AND HULK IN THE MAIN EVENT OF WRESTLEMANIA NOOOOOOOO PUSH HONKEY TONK INSTEAD

>Jay White wins the IWGP IC Title from Naito >do a rematch on 1.4 and Naito wins >Okada beats Ibushi at the Dome >Okada vs. Naito the next day >Naito wins both titles It's Destino cabron.
>implying It will always draw more dimes if naito gets a hail mary shot at both belts by having to beat jay for the IC belt on night one and having to over come the man who crushed his dreams on night two
Christopher Fisher
God forbid a company puts their titles on their biggest draw.
Oh? who had more "super no vacancy show" as champion?
Leo Fisher
Anyone but Naito.
Carter Sullivan
Ocarder in dallas?
Joseph Murphy
Dallas was poorly advertised and now we know why, LOLTNA just bought AXS TV who covered the NJPW Dallas show
Liam Ross
>Ibushi nigga Ibushi just became a made man what the fuck are you talking about FOR YEARS? He was never a top guy within New Chadpan until now
Liam Torres
Apply what said about OkadGOAT to Whiteo and you net the same result, Jay has the next decade to win titles, accolades and tournaments
Ian Williams
>Naito wins both belts >Increased workload as he has to defend both belts in seperate big matches >The ticking time bomb that is his neck finally explodes Very compelling story.
Its called giving belts to draws and having some prestige
James Kelly
Ibushi is going to win the HebyQ
Levi Rodriguez
The good thing is that New Japan has a thousand singles belts and annual tournaments which allows multiple wrestlers to shine, there's something for everyone.
Nathan Turner
He's not in the last year he's got >Never >IC >G1 If you give him HW he has nothing left to chase
Parker Flores
You do realize guys can be multi time champs right? It's not a one and done deal
Wyatt Ward
You do realize they are not putting the 36 ddt guy over the ace at the biggest show of the year
Anthony Reyes
Kota has signed what is essentually a for life contract with new japan and chose them over the elite, they have a lot of faith in him
Julian Kelly
Its a 2 year deal he claims he's staying for life but could fuck off when its up he's not winning. Naito or okada are leaving with both belts
Benjamin Myers
I don't think he will leave New Japan,where will he go if he leaves? Back to doing comedy wrestling like Kenny boy?
Kevin Ortiz
The New Beginning in Osaka (2020) is in Osaka-jō Hall so they need a hot angle for the title match. What do you guys think its gonna be? >One of the LIJ guys turns on naito >Ospreay vs the champ >Jericho beats Tana (god no) >Kenny?
