Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall; still IWGP Heavyweight Champion
INCREDIBLE! Okada conquers the Golden Star! Okada has made history before as IWGP Heavyweight Champion, but now he will have the most historic opportunity of them all! Can Okada become the first-ever dual Heavyweight and Intercontinental Champion? Or is there no stopping Destino?
As for Ibushi, Okada does applaud his incredible resilience and effort. But things now shift to the fact that Naito has returned! Naito swings his Intercontinental Championship, the belt he holds both disdain and desire for. But Naito joins Okada in the ring to eye the belt everyone desires as it sits around Okada’s waist. Naito sets the Intercontinental Championship down to grab a mic. Naito asks Okada if he remembers what he said to Naito two years ago, after their own Wrestle Kingdom main event match. “Well, it looks like I’m back in that spot on more time.” Naito continues to say that he will become the first ever dual champion, because that is his goal and his destiny, “cabron!”
Okada looks down at the Intercontinental Championship and then at Naito. Okada lets Naito take his belt back, and Naito compares the two. Fans cheer, knowing how amazing this match will be just by looking at these two here. Okada holds up the Heavyweight Championship, but Naito poses with his Intercontinental Championship. Naito leaves the ring and surely preparations will begin. Who will hold both belts when all is said and down?
But now Okada takes his turn with the mic to address the Tokyo Dome crowd. “TOKYO DOME~! Thank you to the many people that have turned out here tonight.” To Ibushi, Okada thanks him for the fight of his life! And as for tomorrow night’s main event, Okada VS Naito, “Two years ago, what did I say? You wanna come in here and have that call?” Okada doesn’t give a DAMN what Naito wants, Okada is the STRONGEST IWGP Heavyweight Champion of ALL TIME! Okada adds that this wasn’t “to the rafters” event, but he still thanks everyone who came to see the best wrestling in the world! Okada promises that they’ll see the very best of NJPW and the very best of Okada, because once again, for Night 2, Okada will MAKE IT RAIN! But will Okada reign as a double champion? Or does Destino take away everything Okada’s worked for in one match?
My Thoughts:
I know I didn’t watch the entire event of about 4-and-a-half hours, but just taking the five matches I did from the night, I can’t believe Wrestle Kingdom 14 Night 1 could be anything other than amazing! The Intercontinental and Heavyweight Championship matches were obvious choices, but I felt going with the higher praised matches from Andrew Balaz’s review here would make for a great bit of action. The match with Liger and all the NJPW icons was a natural choice for the history being made. I suppose it makes a lot of sense that Liger doesn’t win here, and tomorrow night having THE final match for the living legend, it will be a huge honor for either Dragon Lee or Hiromu Takahashi to get a win off him.
The Texas Deathmatch, which was really more a Last Man Standing Match, was mostly because it had Moxley in it, and Moxley is a hot commodity right now. It makes a lot of sense for Moxley to win the title back when he didn’t lose it in a match but because of circumstances out of his control, aka the bad weather. The match itself was pretty good for a Last Man Standing match, as well as for a hardcore Moxley match. Ospreay VS Hiromu was amazing, and it’s so great that Hiromu wins back the belt he had to give up because of injury. Then both the White VS Naito and Okada VS Ibushi matches were great, with the latter being amazing. I could sense Naito was winning, but Okada VS Ibushi felt like it could’ve gone either way, and for great story in either case. But for one, it probably would be too soon for Ibushi to be Heavyweight Champion, and perhaps too soon for another Naito VS Ibushi match after how scary their previous one went.
Plus, with it being Okada VS Naito, it is just as hard to say who will make history as the double champion. Both are fan favorites, NJPW definitely has a lot of faith in both of them, this could very well be a coin toss. In the end, I just know it’ll live up to all the hype and excitement of such a moment.
My Score: 9.4

But it isn’t just about Texas Death, an environment where anything goes and only your imagination limits you, an environment Hangman has made his own.

Then will MJF do everything he can to finally get away from Hangman? Or will this be the most violent main event AEW has ever seen?
Hangman enters with live trumpets playing a special theme, and barbed wire already wrapped around his arm.

MJF enters in the same poncho and cowboy hat as the film, but is this about to be his last stand?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who’s really the best shot in AEW!

Through the fire and the flames, these two battled with the burning passion of fighting spirit! But in the end, the Rampaging Dragon has been slain! Will Takagi ever return to the top of NJPW?
As for Yuya, well, he’s supposed to get the mic but Takagi takes it first! “Oi, Uemura! Now that you beat me in Yamanashi, you better win the Cup!” The fans cheer as the hometown hero wants Yuya to carry on the banner. As Takagi goes up the aisle, Yuya grabs the mic to tell him, “I finally beat you! Five years ago, we first wrestled, and you beat me over and over. But I finally beat you!” The fans do applaud that, too. Yuya says he won’t quite thank Takagi. But he does hope they fight even harder next time and tear it up! Thank you very much! The fans cheer that show of respect between two manly warriors.
Yuya then turns to the crowd to tell them he just won in the quarterfinals! The fans cheer that, and Yuya thanks everyone here and watching at home. The fans cheer again, and Yuya adds that this match fired him up even more. He’ll keep this heat going right into the finals. The fans cheer that, too, and Yuya promises they’ll keep the flames going in the New Japan Cup! OSHA! Yamanashi is fired up for the Heat Storm, but will this rising sun soon shine from the mountaintop?
My Thoughts:
A great start to the quarterfinal round, and perhaps a surprise result for Oleg VS Ren. The House of course tried cheating as they always do, but Oleg overcoming both that and the leg damage was great stuff. Oleg not only has two titles right now, but he is now in the Final Four, that is big for a young star like him. Then an awesome main event from Yuya VS Takagi. Obviously, Takagi being from Yamanashi, he had the crowd behind him in like an 80-20 split. But with how strong Yuya’s been going in this tournament, he was the right choice for story. Plus, seeing how Yuya is on the opposite side of the bracket as Shota Umino… There’s a good chance those tag team partners are forced to fight in the finals, thereby proving who is really stepping into the role of New Ace.
My Score: 8.9/10
