Looking forward to Shingo Takagi vs. Henare, Jeff Cobb vs. Tomohiro Ishii and Best of the Super Juniors 31 final. See Tetsuya Naito challenging Jon Moxley at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2024.

for those who just can't get enough of MAIN EVENT EVIL... oh joy

[Horangi]

Surely it's not a case of EVIL being over in Japan but Gedo just refusing to back down at this point, right? 

The Twitter/Reddit meltdown how been hilarious though

[The Natural]

EVIL and the House of Torture fucking suck.

[zendragon]

After MOX gets the three count on SHOTA most of the audience bolts for the exits and misses John's post match promo and HOT post match attack and spray painting of the belt (I agree with @The Natural about how horrible it looks) to set up this match

[EVA]

So, Mox is definitely not dropping to EVIL here, right? That would seem insane.

And it seems highly unlikely that he’s going to win the belt AND drop the belt in America, so he’s probably not losing it back to Naito at Forbidden Door.

And the belt NEVER moves in the Fall between G1 and WK.

So the path seems pretty clear for Mox to carry the belt to the main event of WK.

[Sublime]

You’ve cursed us with anEVIL win and then holding it til WK 

[SturmCRF]

Surely the right move is Moxley holds it til the Dome, Shota wins the G1 and beats him for it in January. The only hitches are that the booking is all over the place at the moment, and Shota doesn't deserve a title with his current haircut.

[Sublime]

That sounds like the right idea especially if Shota gets a haircut to ensure he deserves his title. 
But here me out Evil holds the belt until WK and either SANADA wins the G1 or EVIL does (going undeafeated at that thanks to HoT being unstoppable) and then he picks Yuijiro and tanks WK forever 

[SturmCRF]

While Yujiro is of course objectively very bad, as someone who spent actual money on whichever filler PPV it was where Okada defended the title against him, just on the off chance that Gedo pulled the trigger on giving the big belt to the man who at that time had the best entrance music in wrestling, I'd be up for him main eventing a Wrestle Kingdom.

[The Natural]

Big announcement, the finals of Best of the Super Juniors 31 will be the main event of NJPW Dominion and not Jon Moxley vs. EVIL for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. Cool seeing the Super Juniors getting such a headline opportunity and how Jon Moxley vs. EVIL will probably be a stinker. Good luck, Mox.

Added to the card:

ZSJ/Eagles/Fujita vs Connors/Moloney/LJ Cleary (there's an affiliation between the War Dogs and NOAH's Good Looking Guys)

Tanahashi/Yano/Boltin vs Tsuji/Hiromu/BUSHI for the Never 6-Man Tag Titles

Naito vs Callum Newman

[The Natural]

Spoiler

Happy El Desperado won Best of the Super Juniors for the first time, wish he beat Hiromu Takahashi than Taiji Ishimori. Just get the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship of SHO ASAP.

 

[lostinube]

Spoiler

In other parts of the show, O-Khan won the KOPW back, Tsuji pinned Tanahashi clean as a sheet and LIJ are the Never 6-man champs, and TMDK are your IWGP tag team champions. It could be that Hikuleo is moving on..possibly to join the rest of the family.
