I just want New Japan’s current Cena/top ace to stand victorious in the company’s biggest US show to date. The stronger he looks stateside, he’ll be a bigger draw everywhere else. And it’s time for White to get some comeuppance. I disagree. Jay needs a decent reign to establish himself, 6 weeks into a LOLOKADAWINS is just gonna make him another wasted potential like Naito. I think Jay White is fine by losing tonight. He has a very bright future in that company. There are other legends who had no successful defenses on their initial title win. Okada winning, in my opinion, is the right call. You put the title on Okada, Naito wins the G1, and finally conquers Okada at Wrestle Kingdom. I would be shocked if that's not what they're building towards.

Okay, Mayu looks like a Black Lotus Triad member. Is Dario behind this?!

To me, White’s win over Tanahashi and the fact Okada has yet to beat him means he’s established already. Given how high the company is on him, this won’t be his first reign so long as he keeps improving. That and Okada didn’t have a long first reign either. And I feel this probably should be a “send the fans home happy” show.

He's already beaten Okada and Tanahashi twice each, plus he beat Omega at the beginning of last year. He is already established. Having a short first reign will not hurt him, just as it didn't hurt either Okada or Naito.

You put the title on Okada, Naito wins the G1, and finally conquers Okada at Wrestle Kingdom. I would be shocked if that's not what they're building towards. Right, White has beaten both Okada and Tanahashi in two matches in the past year. He's already been made. If anything, him winning the IWGP belt just enforces how behind him they are. Even if he loses tonight, that doesn't change. He's still a made man. What is more important for New Japan is to close this MSG show the strongest way they can. Especially with how important that MSG is to NJPW history, and their recent US tour being screwed by the government shutdown. Anything that isn't Okada winning would be a bizarre booking decision. If White were some big US draw, I might feel differently, but he isn't, and they know that. Okada should win because you can those fans buzzing about seeing a historic title switch, and the winner should be their current figurehead.

Klein seems serviceable but I can't help but feel they could've got someone better in her place here.
