Part of the gimmick of this year’s Okada homecoming show was that the card wouldn’t be announced until it started. It’s currently going on and the card is up on the [Japanese site](https://sp.njpw.jp/tornament/442663?showResult=1).
Also Ren Narita just proposed that the [currently scheduled](https://www.njpw1972.com/162931) regular him/Honma/Taguchi vs Okada/Ishii/Tanahashi match on the 17th be a NEVER 6 defense, as well. (He knows Okada ain’t jobbing in his hometown, lol.)
Love the 1 game NEVER indiscriminate class championship.
I would have like Yuya and Okada first confrontation to end with Yuya being the 1st out of all the newcomers to beat Okada but well, still going to be one hell of a match
The first Okada and post excursion Yuya meeting was on a not recorded show?
Why do they do this? Why wouldn’t you record this? They didn’t film Goto’s anniversary show either.
Kinda bummed that the first time Okada got his hands on Yuya, post-excursion was on a non-broadcast event. The send-off drop kick really made it feel like the next meeting should be a big thing.

It’s relevant to note that he won today’s match for his team (he & Shota) [by submitting Honma](https://x.com/njpw1972/status/1723279825572683852) (who was teaming with Makabe).

Update: Match was over 30 minutes long, Okada pinned Yuya after a [Rainmaker](https://x.com/q4il2qcyv4iamei/status/1723287478311026796).
