That match is the spark this show needed. Things are turning back to 2019 era New Japan now.

Tam Nakano appeared post match and accepted Kairi's open challenge for Wrestle Kingdom. I’ll be fascinated to see if this makes the main card. That’ll be a hell of a match.

Wonder how many AEW stars will get spots on Wrestle Kingdom
If I had to wager a guess, The Young Bucks are a no brainer for something, but because Best Friends and Orange Cassidy are a part of CHAOS I wonder if they get a multi-man somewhere.

In recent years, outside of the double Dome events, we typically saw 10-11 matches on the card (counting preshow matches/Ranbo). So far we have:
White/Okada Ospreay/Omega Jr. 4-Way Narita/ZSJ KAIRI/Tam
After this tour we'll have matches #6 & #7 set for both sets of tag titles. Add in matches for both NEVER belts (Karl willing), and we're at nine bouts. Plus a KOPW Ranbo and a Stardom preshow tag, and that's eleven. They could take the NEVER 6-Man and throw it on NYD or something too, if they wanted to open up the card for a special singles match or two.

Card on paper looks really tame especially with a lot of name talent not even really set up for match It has been a few years since Naito has felt this aimless

It's on a Wednesday? How weird.
Anway Omega and KAIRI? I'm in.
I'm guessing no chance Ibushi won't be there but would be cool if he countered United Empire interference.

Shingo as well, no way they're gonna just have him be in a Preshow Ranbo.

Shingo has been the epitome of busy work since he lost the IWGP title last year. SANADA has basically fallen off the earth since his injury. LIJ is probably at its lowest it has been Might as well strap up either Tana or Naito as the NEVER champ. In a crazy world, I would love if Shinsuke was able to go against Tanahashi in a special match

Since Kenny is wrapped up in the trios Best of 7 series in AEW, this will likely be his first singles match in over a year.

I really wonder if Kenny is going to use his AEW theme or bring back Devil's Sky for old time's sake?

I agree that there should have been a plan for Tana/Naito by this point - even if it's with younger talent. But, I remember how low some felt leading up to WK13 and that ended up being one of my favorite shows they've done, and there's still weeks left. The two big matches have me hyped and I'm looking forward to Kairi/Nakano being on the main card.

Vince is gone, and Naito would be treated like a megastar, and dude is ice cold in New Japan it seems.

Vince is gone, and Naito would be treated like a megastar, and dude is ice cold in New Japan it seems. He would be over big as he has the same natural body charisma that Nakamura has but as said I just don't see Naito moving here much less coming to work matches. He's pretty comfortable in Japan and looks like he's entering the NJPW dad stage of his career earlier then expected With the shapes of his knees tho I wouldn't see him making any moves but Nakamura had bad shoulders when he came over. If anything there is where the IC title still being around would basically be the Naito title like it was before. To further draw same comparisons to Nak, Naito would basically be the default champion which isn't a bad spot I wouldn't mind him and Shingo tagging for a while to get the tag titles. Him and Sanada already won it (for only like 2 weeks) but since both Shingo and Naito have had singles success, this would be the time to really give Sanada that go ahead push to see if he can finally tap into his potential or just stay into the midcard scene

You’d think FTR would be there to defend the tag belts. It’s not like they have to miss Dynamite to do it. You have to get booked on Dynamite to miss it.
