I’m guessing:
– The official announcement of the [cheering sections](https://imgur.com/a/HRnb1NQ) at Tokyo Dome.
– Formally announcing an Inoki tribute ceremony for the show.
– Finishing the main card lineup with presumably either some variation of Tana vs Naito (possibly with Mutoh/more Hontai guys and SANADA/more LIJ guys included) or a different match featuring one of those two (maybe Tana vs Shota?), and announcing the pre-show matches (I’m predicting the KOPW Ranbo, directly followed by the KOPW four-way, and then *maybe* a third match if they’ll be booking the four-way to be >5 minutes long).
– Possibly announcing what the Yokohama show is actually going to be/who it’ll be in collaboration with (since they’ve been hinting it’ll be a collab show). I’m assuming either with NOAH again, with NOAH and AEW, or a supershow where a bunch of the different promotions they’ve been working with this year (like NOAH, AJPW, GLEAT, etc.) each have their own match with NJPW talent mixed in.
Cheering appeara to be mostly back
Selective cheering huh. Wonder how people will follow that
