I think this was from one of Uncle Dave's tweets. But I thought a solid plan would be Naito winning, having a solid run. Kenny taking the title off him sometime in mid-later 2018, Okada winning G1 to set up Omega/Okada 4 at Wrestle Kingdom 13 with them not having a match at all during 2018.

Yeah, Meltzer has suggested a few times to not have Omega-Okada IV until 2019. I don't necessarily disagree. I think Omega will be busy with Jericho and a likely series of matches with Cody in 2018.

Sounds great, except I'm assuming JR will be doing commentary for AXS. Which, I'm not a huge of his play by play anymore.

I didn't think anything physical would happen until WK but damn that was good.

It's a little thing, but I love them ringing the bell while Jericho was attacking him

Yeah, they always do that in NJPW. If the match is over and people are still fighting they hit that bell over and over. WWF used to do that. I wanna say that stopped in the Attitude era.
