I don't get how SANADA's challenging since Okada only just recently beat him, and SANADA's already like 0/5 in matches against him.
You'd think Zack would be a more worthy challenger since he just beat Tanahashi and all.

Only thing that makes sense with that is that since SANDA took him down to the wire in the cup and no one else is a natural challenger at this point that they might as well have SANADA go for it first. The other matches are actually pretty interesting. I think Goto really needs that win to make him relevant again and while I hope Ishii beats Evil, I'm pretty sure Evil wins so they can set it up for him to to go after Okada next.

Okada should cut the exact same promo about SANADA he did about Goto and see if anybody notices.

You'd think Zack would be a more worthy challenger since he just beat Tanahashi and all. It's almost a New Japan Cup tradition at this point that the runner up gets a crack at the belt after the winner. It happened in 2014, 2017, 2018, and now in 2019
