So, for Wrestle Kingdom 20. The IWGP Title match will be...
Konosuke Takeshyta vs Yota Tsuji in a double title match.
Very interesting choice as one would guess Tsuji finally wins the big one in such a big show, but it also feels like a waste of Takeshyta to cut his title so short. It's all about who they want to carry them in 2026 though. Does Takeshyta have more room to grow as a draw or will japanese fans rally behind Yota if he ends up as as the new big champ? I have no fukking clue tbh, we have no evidence of either one being a safe bet so it's gonna be an intriguing 2026 for sure.
Tanahashi's retirement match seems like it will be against Okada, as Gedo showed up backstage, ask Tana if he had an opponent in mind, and after Tana said he didn't, Gedo said he'd help him out.
So it's basically a big three card with Konosuke/Yota, Tana/Okada (likely) and Wolf's rebut against Evil (oh well).
For today's BJW show, they were campaigning to get 1000 people at Korakuen. Mission not accomplished.
And the main event, a halloween deathmatch, was amazing for those who were watching on stream. Take a look at this action.
Post pandemic Big Japan is a promotion that has done its hardest to legit go under. I don't think they've made a single good decision in like 3-4 years
