Tetsuya Naito has shared his belief that the IWGP World Title match should be the main event of NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18, something already confirmed despite fans thinking another bout should be in the spot.
In a recent interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Naito made his case. The show features a bout between Bryan Danielson and Kazuchika Okada while Naito is set to headline the show, as he will challenge SANADA for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.
“I understand some people would think differently. It’s good that there are different opinions. I know Okada and Bryan are famous worldwide–but so what? I want New Japan Pro-Wrestling to have more confidence and pride in the NJPW wrestlers and our matches,” Naito said.
