It seems that O-Khan had gastroenteritis just a few days ago, I wonder if he'll be okay Everyone in the match is bigger than me, it isn't a situation you'd see in DDT

Oiwa:

Endo-senshu, nice to meet you! Same hair color!

I look forward to working with you 🙇

Endo:

I feel the same way! I'm shy but I look forward to working with you too 🙏

Endo:

I wonder if I'll get along well with Umino-senshu

Umino:

I was super excited* to get the top of my hair dyed black and the hair around my neck blond but then suddenly I had to go to America , , , and after that my hair wasn't long enough , , , Blond hair around our necks or, Team Blond Necks for short, I look forward to working with you 🙇🙇🙇

And please don't be shy, I'll talk to you forever 🫶

[*Umino uses an internet-slang idiom here that literally says "I was waiting naked" and is used to mean being very excited for something]

Endo:

I'm going to the hairdresser tomorrow, so don't worry about the length! Waiting naked is a hobby of mine so leave it to me 🙆

[For people not familiar with Endo, he does love being naked, posts nude photos on twitter pretty regularly, and published a naked photobook a while back]

Umino:

Well then I guess, let's meet up with the hair at our necks blond, and completely naked?????

Power Struggle preview

Will Ospreay vs. Shota Umino - Ospreay is defending the IWGP US title, although he's still calling it the UK title. Umino has asked him to bring both the US and UK versions of the title belt, so it's anyone's guess what he'll call the championship. Shota is 0-3 against Ospreay, but if he can pull it off this time he will defend the US/UK title against his mentor Jon Moxley in the Tokyo Dome on January 4.

Ospreay's future with New Japan is in question. He's been making a lot of noise about potentially going elsewhere soon. At the press conference for this match, he flat-out said he wants Umino to beat him and carry the company, because he won't be around to do it for much longer. I don't know if I buy that, but the fact remains that Will set it up like Shota can't afford to choke here.

The bigger picture here is that Umino has been branded along with Ren Narita and Yota Tsuji as "The Reiwa Musketeers." The implication is that they are expected to carry New Japan to new heights much like the original Three Musketeers (Masahiro Chono, Shinya Hashimoto, and Keiji Muto) or the New Three Musketeers (Hiroshi Tanahashi, Shinsuke Nakamura, Katsuyori Shibata). It's a lot of pressure, and the storyline thus far is that the Reiwa Musketeers haven't lived up to the hype in terms of winning matches. So every time one of them gets an opportunity like this, it's a chance to snap the frustration or stretch it out even further. So while Umino can't afford to choke, that doesn't mean New Japan won't turn him into a choke artist before they turn him into a champion.

My gut feeling is that they wouldn't even bring up the idea of Shota vs. Moxley unless it was really going to happen. Even so, Moxley could still demand the match after an Umino loss, with nothing on the line but pride. In short, there are a lot of reasons that a title change would make sense here, but not a lot of reasons that New Japan can't dash our hopes and defer Shota's dreams for another year. I could honestly see this one going either way.

Hiromu Takahashi vs. Taiji Ishimori - Hiromu's IWGP junior heavyweight title is on the line. Interestingly, this match may also involve the ironman heavymetalweight championship, a comedy title in DDT that is defended under 24/7 rules. See, Hiromu won the title a couple of times in the past month, and then on November 2 Ishimori attacked him backstage and rolled him up for a cheap pin to capture the belt. So unless somebody rolls up Ishimori before this match (quite possible) the winner of this bout should end up with both belts.

This is a rematch from May 21, when Hiromu won by stoppage after Ishimori suffered some sort of neck injury. I was afraid he'd be out for at least a year, but he returned last month to beat up Hiromu and lay down the challenge for this match. It's pretty weird this match is simultaneously about a legit neck injury and a comedy belt that was famously held by a sex doll.

I think HIromu should retain the junior title and defend it at the Tokyo Dome. Then again, I have no idea who's being set up for that spot, so maybe Ishimori should just win it here to set up a rematch in January. Or maybe the sex doll could do a run in and pin both of them. You never know.

Francesco Akira & TJP vs. Yoshinobu Kanemaru & SHO - This is the final match in the Super Jr. Tag League tournament. The block matches ended with three teams tied on top at 12 points, but Catch 2/2 (Akira and TJP) have wins over both of them, so they finished in first place. Sho and Nobu defeated El Desperado and Master Wato to clinch second place. I expect the winners of this match to challenge the IWGP junior heavyweight tag team champions, probably on January 4, but it's not a formal stipulation like the G1 Climax has.

I didn't keep up with the Super Jr. Tag League this year, but from what I heard I was really expecting the odd couple of Despy and Wato to go all the way. This matchup should be fresh and maybe even good, but it's not at all what I was hoping for. I suppose Sho and Nobu will pull all the usual House of Torture cheap heat spots, but I can't imagine they'll actually win.

Kazuchika Okada & Hiroshi Tanahashi & Tomohiro Ishii vs. Zack Sabre Jr. & Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls - Okada's team is defending the NEVER trios title. It's not at all clear to me what any of these guys will be doing at Wrestle Kingdom, so the most compelling part of this match will be after the bell, waiting to see if anyone comes out to issue an interesting challenge. I don't expect Okada's team to lose at this point, and I doubt any of them will pin Sabre to set up a television title bout.

Jon Moxley vs. Great-O-Khan - This match was made when Will Ospreay demanded it in exchange for giving Shota Umino a title shot. Moxley suffered an apparent concussion on September 20, and since then he's only worked a couple of indie shows. This is a big opportunity for Khan to score a huge win, but there's almost no chance of that happening.

From the minute this was thrown together I figured the point was to have Moxley in the building to shoot an angle for Wrestle Kingdom. Once Shota Umino announced his intention to win the US title and defend against Mox, everything made sense. Unfortunately, that just means Khan is an afterthought before the match even starts. But that's kind of how it's been for him all year, so.

David Finlay vs. Tanga Loa - Finlay lost the NEVER title to Loa's brother Tama Tonga on October 9, and then got pinned by Loa himself in a tag match on October 14. So Finlay is looking for revenge, and Loa had better watch his ass. I wasn't sure if the plan was to push Tama and Tanga as a tag team or two singles guys. But seeing as Tama has already lost the NEVER belt, it makes sense to put them both in World Tag League in a few weeks. Thus, there's no real reason to protect Loa here, and I figure Finlay is going to wreck him bad.

SANADA & Yuya Uemura vs. Tetsuya Naito & Yota Tsuji - This is a preview of Sanada vs. Naito in the main event of Wrestle Kingdom on January 4. Tsuji dramatically returned from excursion a few months ago to join Naito's squad, and Uemura just returned to join Sanada's camp. One of them is bound to get pinned in this match, and I figure it'll be Tsuji.

Shingo Takagi & BUSHI & Titan vs. Tama Tonga & KUSHIDA & Kevin Knight - Takagi recently defeated Tonga for the NEVER title. The other four guys in this match were all in the Super Jr. Tag League tournament. Not much to this, unless somebody manages to pin Shingo and set up a title match, and I doubt that will happen. Takagi's team should win.

Clark Connors & Drilla Moloney vs. El Desperado & Master Wato vs. YOH & MUSASHI vs. Robbie Eagles & Kosei Fujita - Connors and Moloney are the IWGP junior heavyweight tag team champions, but their title isn't at stake in this match. If they get pinned, you can bet whoever pins them will be in line for a title shot. But since four-way matches are often one-fall-to-a-finish, it's just as likely the champs won't be involved in the decision.

My guess is that this match exists so DespeWato can get a pin on Connors/Moloney and demand a spot in the tag title match on January 4. That would set up a three-way between the champs, DespeWato, and the winners of Akira & TJP vs. Sho & Kanemaru. I hate three-way matches, and setting up a three-way match by doing a four-way match makes me even more mad. But I suppose I shouldn't fret about it until they actually do it.

Jeff Cobb & Callum Newman vs. Oskar Leube & Yuto Nakashima - Newman might as well be the young boy of the United Empire faction, whereas Leube and Nakashima are the rank-and-file young boys. Cobb is more of a big boy and could squish all three of these guys, so his team has to win.

Ryusuke Taguchi & The DKC & Boltin Oleg vs. Strong Machine J & Mochizuki Jr. & Yoshiki Kato - This is a pre-show match, so I'm not even sure it'll be broadcast. It's billed as a "Frontier Zone" match, whatever that means. Basically it's some New Japan guys who aren't doing much lately versus some young talent from other promotions--in this case, a trio from Dragon Gate. I'd expect Taguchi's team to win handily, but Oleg is a Young Lion so he might be in this match specifically to do a job for the outsiders.
