Kazuchika Okada won the G1 Climax 31 tournament after his match ended early when Kota Ibushi suffered an injury. 

After Kota missed a splash off the top rope, he clutched his right arm and the bell rang. The trainers tried to pop his shoulder back into place. The ring ropes were removed so he could be helped to the back. 

With this win, Okada will get an IWGP World Heavyweight Championship match at Wrestle Kingdom 16 on January 4, January 5 and January 8, 2022.

After issuing a challenge, Tama Tonga will wrestle Okada next, which will likely take place at Power Struggle on Saturday, November 6.
