Given Suzuki is heading to the states soon, odds are they are gonna revert back to the status quo

Restrictions are gradually being lifted in Japan. Which means more fans at shows and able to make noise

My gripe with Sanada is his finisher.
He rarely looks like he's putting any effort in the move and has his arm around the opponent's forehead instead of neck

Good of them to pull the trigger on SANADA here.
Honestly, considering how it used to not really be anything special, the IWGP US Championship has become something pretty cool. I guess in the absence of the IC title, it has made sense to increase its stature.
Now, I know people got irritated with the first part of the second Moxley title reign, but it definitely picked up in its last half, and it feels like it's been more good than bad since. Archer, Tanahashi, KENTA, and now SANADA. It's a hell of an alumni list.

If Shibata is taking part in the NJC, he should have to wear a protective helmet or face mask

I would have never predicted SANADA bearing Tanahashi there. Especially with Moxley being in the cards for the future.
Pleasantly surprised. I hope they go all-in on SANADA the way they did EVIL in 2020, and Shingo in 2021. The dude is super over, very popular, has a cool look, and can wrestle.

That depends on if Sanada will finally sign a fulltime contract with New Japan
