    The question now is does Naito challenge SANADA or EVIL which will be the one title match between now and January. Either match makes sense in its own way.

    Is there a blowoff match between the now IWGP UK Champion Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega?

    What is Okada doing?

    I don't EVIL wins the title. I bet they got SANADA and Naito.

    Yeah I do wonder what Okada does. Is he still part of the six man champs? If so I bet they drop those before WK or those titles don't get defended.

    If we are not getting Ospreay vs Omega at Wembley then they need to go again at WK.

    Yuya Uemura got the fired briefcase from Feast or Fired in Impact. Kazuchika Okada who has spent all year living the Michael Jordan "fuck them kids" meme is now feuding with guys from Impact. I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

    The main event is now official

    SANADA will defend the Worlds Heavyweight Championship against Tetsuya Naito.

    are there many probable match-ups for this show yet? since it's one night again and fans can make noise, i might try to watch this live for the first time since 2019.

    Based on tonight's Dynamite and Power Struggle in Osaka next week it looks like the top 3 matches for this show are

    Naito vs SANADA
    Okada vs Danielson
    Ospreay vs Moxley

    Looks like a tease of Moxley facing Umino at WK if he can beat Ospreay. Student vs teacher. But not sure what that would leave for Ospreay.

    Yeah Ospreay was all but begging to put Shota over at the press conference too. If Umino loses he will look like a geek so it feels like he really needs to win just not sure he will.

    The Jr Tag League is interesting because if SHO and Kanemaru win then it's a Bullet Club vs House of Torture match at the Dome.

    So where we are

    IWGP World Title: SANADA vs Tetsuya Naito
    For some yet to be determined Championship since the US/UK belts were destroyed and seem to be deactivated: Will Ospreay vs Jon Moxley vs David Finlay
    IWGP Jr Title: Hiromu Takahashi vs El Desperado
    IWGP Jr Tag Titles: War Dogs vs Catch 2/2
    World TV Title: ZSJ vs Hiroshi Tanahashi
    Kazuchika Okada vs Bryan Danielson

    So Tama and his brother not in World Tag League, I am guessing since Tama keeps trading that NEVER title around with people.
