At today’s Wrestle Kingdom 17 pay-per-view event, IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada teamed with Togi Makabe to take on the NOAH duo of Yoshiki Inamura & Kaito Kiyomiya. The match ended in a no contest after a wild brawl broke out during the match. Okada and Kiyomiya exchanged several stiff strikes to one another during the bout, and the brawl continued after the match ended.
Before Okada left, a furious Kiyomiya got on the microphone and challenged Okada to a singles matchup. Kaito Kiyomiya was later seen repeating the calls backstage. Okada angrily left and did not comment on the challenge. He was shown furious backstage yelling at the camera operators not to film him.
You can see clips of the strikes, and Okada’s furious response, below:
