00:00History made, and will we see history made once again?
00:04We thank Nicaldas as we move to the second half of our main event here at G1 Supercard.
00:12It is Switchblade, Jay White, IWGP Heavyweight Champion.
00:16Going against the former champion, the record-breaking champion,
00:19Kazuchika Ogata, the Rainmaker.
00:22What a match we will see.
00:26I'm not stunned.
00:27I believe in Taven, I knew he had it in him, but tonight to see him come through on the
00:32biggest stage that Ring of Honor has ever had is something entirely different.
00:36It's something entirely different, it's so special.
00:38And he deserves your congratulations, he deserves mine.
00:42We might not agree with everything that Matt Taven stands for, or what he does,
00:46but it was all on the line, the rules were all out the window.
00:50Climb a ladder, that's all it was.
00:53He did it, Marty Skrull did not, and neither did Jay Lethal.
00:56And right now, folks, it's our main event time.
00:59Let's take a look at the history of the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.
01:26in the 90's.
01:29We'll see you, Michael!
01:33So, with a lad and akumar, now we're going to be in the Investor,
01:38so that we see the very best.
01:39We see you once again.
01:39And it's time to start a healthy story.
01:41No!
01:41Let's look at the history of the IWGP kleine.
01:42We'll see you once again.
01:43We'll see you once again.

05:53And we're looking at the man
05:55Who is a four-time
05:57former IWGP Heavyweight Champion
06:00His fourth reign
06:02Broke every record
06:0412 successful title defenses
06:07720
06:082020 days long
06:10But in the drive for five
06:18What Okada must do is to defeat a man he has never ever
06:23beaten
06:38Whether it's 2-0 in singles competition Kevin or tag team affairs
06:45His opponent tonight has had his number through and through
06:50And at 26 years old
06:52And at 26 years old
06:54This is the guard in the chain
06:56That's he

07:23Po
07:24Switchblade Jay White is indeed unbeaten against Kazuchika Okada.
07:37He beat him last year in the G1 on July 14th.
07:44And then, in only 14 minutes, on 1-4, January 4, Tokyo Dome.
07:54Love him or hate him.
07:57He's the hottest man in pro wrestling right now.
08:00Well, nobody seems to love him here in the Garden.
08:04So the only option seems to be hate him, and he seems to love that.
08:08Oh, yes.
08:11Of course, when he returned from Excursion, he was a ring of honor.
08:15Undefeated for nearly nine months.
08:17Returned to New Japan.
08:19Was courted by Bullet Club.
08:21Decided instead to join Chaos.
08:23Kevin, we were talking about it.
08:23Was never a really great fit for Chaos.
08:27When it all fell apart, no one was surprised.
08:29But what was the shock was the man who accompanied Switchblade.
08:33And that's Gato, who betrayed Okada to side with Switchblade.
08:38All joining Bullet Club in the process.
08:41A beautiful, new gold belt around the waist.
08:45IWGP Heavy-Q.
09:00IWGP Heavy-Q.
09:04We are going to win 60 minutes at 60 minutes.
09:09The winner of the New Japan Cup 2019
09:15K.O.S. 191cm, 107kg
09:18Rainmaker, Okada Katsuka!
09:27The winner of the IWGP
09:31Pallet Club, Switchblade, J-White
09:42Referee Red Shoes Uno
09:44It's Switchblade J-White vs Kazuchiko Okada
09:47For the IWGP Heavyweight Championship
09:50G1 Supercard, Madison Square Garden
09:54Red Shoes! Red Shoes! Red Shoes! Red Shoes!
10:00Announcement there that Okada stood 191cm
10:04Weighed in this morning, 107kg
10:07The winner of the IWGP Heavyweight Championship
10:09We will now hand over the IWGP Heavyweight Championship
10:15Lovingly restored to Referee Red Shoes
10:22The Championship was a hot matter of conversation yesterday at the press conference
10:30As restored, the nameplate left blank in anticipation for the bout that we will see here tonight
10:37Both nameplates available for the winner of the bout
10:40But J-White took great exception to that believing that he has earned the right to walk in with the name on the championship bout
10:47And the bell sounds, Red Shoes Uno are official, and here we go
10:54The question is whether J-White, whether it affects him or he thrives on it
11:21And he is the only one that knows that answer to that question
11:28This is a matchup, you sit down
11:30Now Kevin, both you and I are baseball men
11:36We know that matchups are key
11:38I wonder if this particular matchup
11:40If this is a matchup nightmare for Okada
11:43The way that Okada has been defeated
11:46And like you said, 14 minutes
11:49There's some symmetry with the numbers 1 and 4
11:52Yeah, there is
11:53And if you look at when J-White's victories came, especially the first
11:59Okada had just lost the IWGP Heavyweight Championship
12:03And White's victory during last year's G1 came within an over 40 day drought of singles wins for the Rainmaker
12:12Now at Wrestle Kingdom, maybe there was a little bit, maybe a little bit of disappointment
12:20For the first time in so many years, Okada out of the title picture
12:24But either way, the Rainmaker looks to take back what he feels he owns
12:36And that's the IWGP Heavyweight Championship
12:38White now sends Okada across, shoulder tack
12:45Controlling the crowd, controlling the pace right now
12:47Gato's right there
12:49A visual distraction
12:51But enough to allow J-White to take the side headlock
12:54And J-White slows that pace down
12:56Look at him, headlock takeover and is just going to sit on it
13:01Does not want this crowd wiled up in favor of Okada
13:05Say what you want about Gato, but it has led J-White to this position right now
13:14You look at the legend that he built in Okada
13:17And mid-race, with a lot of wick left on the candle
13:22He betrayed Okada and sided with Switchblade
13:26Yeah, he changed his horse, didn't he?
13:28Yep
13:29Almost mid-race
13:30A crazy bet if you think about it
13:32But Gato knows
13:34And it was, because of that, it wasn't a shock
13:38When Switchblade became IWGP Heavyweight Champion
13:42Of course, defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi for that championship
13:46Yep
13:47The ignominious 8th reign of Tanahashi
13:50Marked by 0 title defenses
13:54Hanging on to the hair inside headlock tickle
13:56And Kevin, we talked about it earlier
13:58You know, there's been legends that have had reigns
14:00That have gone 0 defenses
14:02We talked about Tin Roof, Fujinami, Vader, Tenzan, Masahiro Chono
14:07It's happened before
14:09And the fact that Tanahashi's name is now etched on that list
14:15As White cranks on the side headlock
14:17I'm sure it's hardly satisfying for Tanahashi
14:20But those 0 defense reigns haven't happened in a long time
14:26In fact, if Switchblade falls to Okada here
14:31It'll be the first time in New Japan since 1991
14:37That there have been two successive 0 defense reigns
14:45With Fujinami and Vader owning that in January, March of 91
14:49Those are two absolute legends, Hall of Famers
14:51Yeah
14:52As Okada bringing Jay White back to his feet
14:55A link to crank the neck delivers the neck breaker
14:57It's only so long that Jay White can get away with
15:00Holding the hair on that headlock
15:02But not even barely a one count
15:07So Okada grabbing the hair of White
15:095 minutes, 5 minutes pass
15:115 minutes, 5 minutes
15:1360 minute time limit
15:15The ropes of Okada and White
15:17Smartly getting out of dodge
15:18We've seen this time and time again
15:20Jay White's defense almost as impressive as his offense
15:24He knows exactly what his opponents want to do
15:28He'll avoid that situation just like that in all costs
15:32Now kick to the midsection, it's White
15:34Delivering a clubbing forearm
15:36Yep!
15:37Now shooing away the security staff
15:40Clearing a path to send Okada, no reverse
15:43Okada coming in
15:48Clearing the face of Jay White
15:52Sending him over the barricade
15:53Okada has switchblade down
15:56A front row seat for Jay White
16:01But no longer, what's Okada gonna do?
16:03Well he's gonna DDT him on the floor
16:05And there is that
16:07X Factor if you will, Gato
16:11And now
16:12Wheelbarrowing him in
16:13To the barricade
16:15Okada in trouble
16:16Gato helping open the door
16:18Hit switchblade, close it
16:23Colt, how do you even game plan
16:25For somebody like Gato on the outside
16:26A man who's led two successive championships
16:29I'm gonna stop you right there
16:31Because Okada knows all about Gato
16:34That is nothing that we don't know
16:37That he doesn't know
16:38And that is definitely expected
16:41It's almost like what is Okada gonna do?
16:44One
16:46Two
16:48Three
16:49Four
16:51Five
16:52We mentioned earlier the twenty count
16:53In New Japan
16:54Right
16:55Seven
16:56Eight
16:57And Okada now rolling back underneath
17:01Shay White right there to catch him
17:03With the heels of the boots
17:05And the chest to the shoulders
17:06Uh oh Okada
17:08Draped under the bottom
17:09Oh
17:10God
17:12Throat first
17:13Right into the bottom strand
17:15To the cover two
17:16And a kick out
17:22The champion Jay White basically dominating so far
17:27He was he was dominant over Okada at the dome
17:30And
17:31It doesn't seem to be too much difference right now
17:34And it has been slow paced
17:36That is his game plan
17:37A wear down technique
17:39First with the side head locks
17:40Now with this reverse chin lock
17:42And rare Colt for a guy just twenty-six to have
17:45That's so rare
17:46So rare
17:47Yeah
17:48So rare
17:49Those young guys want to go fast fast fast
17:52Shoulders to the mid section
17:54The elbows delivers
17:55It's Okada who breaks free
17:56Oh
17:57Takes a back elbow
17:58Rattles him
17:59Cover one
18:00Two
18:01Heavy connection with the elbow
18:03And Okada was put down
18:06Cool and confident though is the switchblade
18:11Which is just an amazing thing to think about
18:16We talk about his age but also his opponent
18:18Okada so dominant
18:21So recognized
18:23Both men pulling off the feet
18:25Of the February new beginning
18:28In Osaka title switch
18:30When Okada did it
18:33Seven years ago
18:35It was called the rainmaker shot
18:37And many tried to say that
18:39Oh wait a minute
18:40Here we go
18:41Jake White delivers
18:42Here we go
18:43Right to the cover
18:44Two
18:45And a kick out
18:46Many tried to say that
18:48Oh well if he wins
18:49Against Tanahashi
18:50It will be the switchblade shot
18:52But Jay said
18:54It's not going to be a surprise
18:56I am going to win
18:58When Okada won
19:00Every jaw was dropped
19:02Not just in the crowd
19:03But in the locker room as well
19:05No one could believe it
19:07But there were many
19:08That were not surprised at all
19:10That Jay White ended Tanahashi's eighth reign
19:13Over the DDT countered it
19:15Jay White delivering a DDT to Okada
19:17Weaving in and out is Jay White
19:19Exchange of the wrists
19:21The switchblade is in control
19:24And the rainmaker is in a lot of trouble
19:27White going back to the leg now
19:33Has it wrenched
19:34And now Grapevine
19:36And it's White
19:40Standing over
19:44Taking his time
19:50Taking his time
19:52Taking it in
19:53And it branches it back
19:55The Moodle lock
19:57Locked in
19:59Ten minute pass
20:01Ten minute pass
20:02Ten minute pass
20:03He's got this Moodle lock locked in
20:06Red Shoes is right there
20:08If there is a verbal submission
20:12We will hear it
20:13Camera work great
20:15And Okada stretching out
20:17The left arm
20:18Whoa
20:19Getting his money's worth here
20:21As White
20:22Pushing through the hips
20:23On that bridge
20:24Until the count of five
20:30Of course we saw Great Moodle
20:32Earlier this evening
20:33Incredible
20:34What a surprise that was
20:35In the honor rumble
20:37We also saw Colt Cabana
20:39Sure did
20:40Jusha Thunder Liger
20:42Plus won by Kenny King
20:44Now towards the future world titles
20:46Champion
20:47So Matt Davin crowned the ring of honor
20:48World Champion
20:49But it's Okada
20:50Who's looking to become
20:51IWGP Heavyweight Champion
20:52Once more
20:53Switchblade Jay White
20:55Has shovels for hands
20:57And delivers incredibly fierce
21:00Chops into the chest
21:02Okada going for that flapjack
21:03One more time
21:04This time connects
21:06And the crowd so desperate to cheer
21:13For Okada
21:15So desperate to get on his side
21:17And right on cue Colt
21:19Here they come
21:22But can the Rainmaker get back in the fight?
21:25He hasn't given them much to cheer about
21:28Excuse me
21:29Oh here we go
21:31Okada back elbows
21:33Back elbow sends White down
21:35Irish whip now
21:36Reverse by Switchblade
21:37Duck to the clothesline
21:38Okada sending White down
21:42Yeah!
21:43With each and every moment that pass
21:54I got to think that Okada
21:56This match begins to favor him
21:58We've seen White put Okada away quickly
22:00But if Okada can stretch this match
22:02Or go for the pin
22:04Two
22:05A kick out at two
22:06The longer this goes it has to favor Okada Kevin
22:11Well we've seen him go as long as 67 minutes a year ago
22:16Dominion 46-45 at the dome a couple of years ago
22:21But he will go to the top and look to rain down
22:26The elbow but Jay White back up
22:29Okada rolling through
22:31Big kick staggers Okada
22:33Okada back to the center
22:34And another one from White
22:36Staggers Okada again
22:37Does it stagger him?
22:38No
22:39He's shrugging it off
22:41And he's starting to get pissed
22:43Delivers with a big forearm
22:45Rattling White
22:46Perching White up
22:47Up on the top
22:48Drop kick
22:53Drop kick from Okada
22:55And the champ is down
22:57Jay White rolling to the outside
23:00This time not by his own accord
23:02Okada
23:05Okada
23:06Okada
23:07Okada
23:08Okada
23:09Okada
23:10Okada

23:43Okada
23:44Okada
23:45Okada
23:46Okada
23:47Take a seat, Gato.
23:51And how long was he hoping to do that at the Garden?
23:54Wait a minute now.
23:55Wait a minute.
23:56Okada has something in mind.
24:02Two for the price of one.
24:04Okada crushing Gato in the switchblade.
24:11You know, he's been waiting to do that to Gato for a long time now.
24:17Gato out.
24:26White barely stirring.
24:32Sending White over the barricade now.
24:36Over the friendly confines of Madison Square Garden.
24:41I'll let you have that one, Ian.
24:44White desperate to find a way back to his feet.
24:47He had Gato as his ace in the hole, but the Rainmaker was ready.
24:53And now, before Red Shoes could kill him.
24:59Oh, and look what's happened.
25:02We've already gone past the 14 minutes that it took White to defeat Okada at Wrestle Kingdom.
25:09Will this be a mental lift for Okada, who hoists White up on his shoulders?
25:16Driving those clubbing forearms into the small of the back.
25:20It's Okada continuing to hoist White up.
25:27Wait a minute, wait a minute.
25:28Now watch that snap Zaito suplex.
25:30One of the most devastating weapons in the arsenal of the switchblade.
25:35Right now, it's like, can the kid do well on his own?
25:39Gato basically out of it for the moment.
25:43Let's see what Jake and White can do on his own.
25:46Is it just the Gato show?
25:51And we find out here, White charging into the corner!
25:55Oh, running uppercut.
25:58Jay White!
26:00Vicious!
26:01Cover!
26:02Two!
26:03Down!
26:04Twisted brain buster.
26:10Nearly the difference.
26:12Nearly.
26:12Jay White's ticket to leaving New York City.
26:16IWGP Heavyweight Champion.
26:17And we could be a Blade Runner away from that being reality.
26:21Going to pull him up, drive him down with a uranage, but Okada hammers him with the elbow.
26:27Sidestep.
26:28Great defense by White.
26:30Up and oh, caught by Okada!
26:32Trapped ahead.
26:34Neckbreaker!
26:38Shifts him over.
26:42Very effective.
26:44Both man down.
26:50Okada having absorbed a lot of punishment, unable to follow up after the neckbreaker on the IWGP Heavyweight Champion.
26:59And White trying to struggle to find an opening.
27:03Now as the match surpasses in length, their last encounter.
27:09Tombstone.
27:11White over the shoulders.
27:13Another Saito suplex no.
27:16Oh, look at this.
27:18Beautiful.
27:18Getting out of the way.
27:20He was ready.
27:20You're right.
27:21You're right.
27:21Nothing wrong with that.
27:25Nothing wrong with that at all by Jay White.
27:27Even though it's to the crowd's displeasure.
27:30We've seen White use that avoidance strategy time and time again.
27:39Opponent after opponent.
27:43He'll try a tombstone again.
27:45Second time.
27:45And again, Jay White gets away.
27:48Clutching those ropes desperately.
27:50I mean, you can get away, but you're still in the ring.
27:52And you're in the corner and you're one attack away from Okada being on top.
27:58Shotgun!
27:59Dropkick!
28:03Driving through and down.
28:04White in the corner.
28:06Okada rolling him out toward the center of the ring.
28:10Climbing to the top here, Kevin.
28:12Another opportunity to rain down an elbow.
28:15Again, White on his feet.
28:17Oh!
28:17Floats in midair.
28:19Just like he did to Sonata in the finals of the New Japan Cup.
28:23This time.
28:24Oh, so close.
28:31Not enough at that juncture.
28:34At this juncture of the match.
28:36We're going to take a look at the replay here.
28:37The shotgun dropkick.
28:38And then, watch as he seems to float in midair.
28:43Hover above the ring.
28:44It's magical.
28:46A pair of shotgun dropkicks.
28:48One from the ground, one from the sky.
28:51Return to live action as Okada climbing to the top.
28:53He won't be denied this elbow drop to the center of the chest.
28:57Oh!
28:58So pretty.
29:00And now Okada feeling it.
29:04The garden is feeling it.
29:0820,000 on their feet.
29:16Kazuchika Okada.
29:18Championship within his fingertips.
29:20Here we go.
29:21Rainmaker.
29:23Just collapses.
29:25Yeah, but you collapse.
29:26But it's not like he's not holding your hand.
29:29And he avoided the move that's carried Okada throughout the years as the IWGP Heavyweight Champion.
29:38But Okada's still up.
29:39Yep.
29:40Still on the offense.
29:41But if you get hit with a Rainmaker, it's over.
29:44So, yeah, you might be staving off the inevitable.
29:48But for the moment in time, it's sound strategy.
29:51Boyd climbing back to his feet as Okada driving him back down.
29:57Boy, has this matchup changed.
29:5920 minutes.
30:0020 minutes pass.
30:01You hear the 20-minute call.
30:06One-third of our time limit has elapsed.
30:09Jay White barely able to stand at this point.
30:11Oh, wait.
30:13Oh!
30:14No, he had him set.
30:15Flatliner.
30:17Look at the eyes of Jay White.
30:19Going immediately for the waist.
30:21The hands clasped around the...
30:23German suplex!
30:27Just an explosive athlete.
30:32An athlete is the right word.
30:36A product of the New Japan Dojo.
30:39The New Zealand native.
30:41Who's journey began in the meeting with Prince Devin.
30:47Finn Balor.
30:47Wait a minute.
30:48Blade Runner.
30:49No.
30:50Okada smartly driving White into the corner.
30:53It's White.
30:53Now kicked in the midsection.
30:55Oh!
30:57Wheels him into the buckle.
31:02Uranagi.
31:03Got him!
31:04High angle.
31:05Stuffs him.
31:06Two.
31:08And Okada kicks out.
31:11From there, White, after the meeting in England with Devitt, was put in contact with Bad Luck Fale.
31:19The New Japan Dojo.
31:25And the journey began.
31:27Excursion here in the United States.
31:29Oh, leg hook.
31:31This was his finisher in ROH, the Kiwi Crusher.
31:34Certainly was.
31:35Ducks the clothesline.
31:36Back elbow, Okada trying to separate.
31:42Oh, no.
31:43Snaps Aida all the way to the floor.
31:48Does Jay White take a count-out victory?
31:51Will he accept that here in the Garden?
31:53Will we see a count-out?
31:55No.
31:55Come on, Jay.
31:56Come on!
31:56Come on!
31:57Come on!
31:57Come on!
31:58Come on!
31:58Come on!
31:59Come on!
31:59Come on!
32:00Come on!

32:01Come on!
32:02Come on!
32:02Come on!
32:03Come on!
32:03Come on!
32:04Wow!
32:04Not even a one-count.
32:05Not interested.
32:06No.
32:06I think he wants a victory, Kevin!
32:07He wants to prove that he's the man.
32:08And that the cut-throat era is for real.
32:10Kiwi Crusher connects!
32:12Hooks the leg!
32:13Leg hook.
32:14Two and...
32:15Oh!
32:16Is that three?
32:17No, it was two.
32:21But it was close!
32:26The glaze in the eyes of Okada.
32:28Can he shake the cobwebs?
32:30Switchblade in control.
32:34Pull him up.
32:35Sleeper suplex.
32:36Okada.
32:37Back elbow denial.
32:40Feeling for the hair.
32:43Realizing that Okada was right behind him.
32:47Quick strikes.
32:48That combination from White.
32:52Uh-oh!
32:53Got caught!
32:54Tombstone!
33:03But was there enough wherewithal?
33:06How deep does the reservoir run?
33:09The reserve.
33:10How deep does it go for Okada?
33:12Hit the tombstone, but couldn't capitalize.
33:16Nearly miraculous he was able to do that, Ian.
33:21And unable to follow up.
33:23But perhaps it's enough to turn, start to turn the momentum of this match.
33:27To Colt's point earlier, it has been largely a switchblade match.
33:34He's had the pace perfect.
33:35He's controlled most of the offense.
33:36He's controlled most of the offense.
33:37Let's go!
33:38Let's go!
33:39Let's go!

36:59what
37:06and the disbelief from the crowd
37:09And the disbelief from that man, Okada.
37:16Just on two counts.
37:23He is your IWGP champion for a reason, gentlemen.
37:29Okada! Okada! Okada! Okada!
37:35He's on the doorstep! On the precipice!
37:43Tombstone! Tombstone! No!
37:47Blade Runner! Blade Runner! Blade Runner!
37:51And there's nothing in the tank for Jay White!
37:54He can't follow up!
37:55Just flop your body over Jay!
38:02Jay White looking to Gato!
38:04Nobody's ever kicked out of the Blade Runner!
38:07But this is one time where we see the Blade Runner not directly leading to victory!
38:18Jay White using this!
38:20Using the Blade Runner to take a break!
38:23And we see Okada! I thought he was grabbing for the wrist!
38:30You hear Kato in the background imploring his charge!
38:38Desperate!
38:40Look at this jostle for position!
38:48Oh!
38:51Oh!
38:52Yeah!
38:54Yeah!
38:55Boltman almost collapsed in the center of the ring!
38:58This is the fighting spirit of New Japan Pro Wrestling!
39:08Oh!
39:09You do not quit!
39:13Till there is a decision!
39:20You do not quit till there is a decision.
39:43White comes forward, connects again, the side of the jaw of Okada.
39:50White back to his feet, reestablishing a vertical base.
39:53But that's short-lived as Okada delivers.
39:56Almost an attempt, look at that, look at these attempts.
39:5930 minutes, 30 minutes pass, 30 minutes.
40:04In Jay White's mind, he was smashing Okada.
40:07That is the difference.
40:09There is so much behind those shots from Okada and nothing from Jay White.
40:16Oh, wait a minute, Okada, come on.
40:18Gato will come in this ring.
40:20Oh, blow blow!
40:21God no!
40:22God damn it!
40:23Blow blow!
40:24I stand corrected.
40:25One last shot left at Jay White.
40:30And it was a decisive one.
40:32Red Shoes has tossed Gato, admonishing him.
40:41But the damage is done!
40:43Yeah!
40:44Are you Gato?
40:45Are you Gato?
40:46Are you Gato?
40:47Are you Gato?
40:48Are you Gato?
40:49Are you Gato?
40:50Are you Gato?
40:51Are you Gato?
40:52Are you Gato?
40:53Yes.
40:54This has got to be it!
40:55This is it.
40:56Not this way.
40:57Blade Runner!
40:58No!
40:59Jarabin Suplex!
41:00Hands still locked.
41:06Oh wait a minute, wait a minute!
41:07Chop in the wrist!
41:08Here we go!
41:10No!
41:11Backslide!
41:12Here we go, no, backslide, no, blade runner, no, backslide, no, right, make it out, drop
41:24down.
41:25Here we go, no.
41:38White finding an answer, finding it from somewhere deep, delivering an elbow, trying to break
41:46the clutch of the rest.
41:48Okada won't let go.
41:51Oh, smashes him.
41:56He's not done.
41:59He needs to make sure.
42:03He needs to spit him out, Kevin.
42:07He needs to spit.
42:16One more time, no, tombstone, tombstone, spinning tombstone, got all of it, here we go.
42:32One more time maker.
42:39Yeah.
42:41The drive for five has crossed the finish line.
42:51And Kazuchika Okada for the fifth time in his magical career.
43:01He is once again, the IWGP heavyweight champion.
43:08He is once again, the IWGP heavyweight champion.
43:18He is once again, the IWGP heavyweight champion.
43:28He is once again, the IWGP heavyweight champion.
43:37He is once again, the IWGP heavyweight champion.
