AEW Has a Problem

Everything that I type here is all in my opinion and it's something I didn't want to discuss at first but feel like it's time to say it. AEW has a problem and that problem is CM Punk.

How did this problem start, you ask? Go back to the post-media event of "All Out 2022" where just minutes after regaining the AEW World Heavyweight Championship, CM Punk lashed out at the media instead of talking about his reaction to the return of MJF (aka Maxwell Jacob Friedman) from earlier that day.

His words caused a backstage brawl that resulted into suspensions of himself and all around him including Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, Kenny Omega, Brandon Cutler, Michael Nakazawa, etc. Also, due to that brawl, both the AEW World Heavyweight Championship and the AEW Trios Championship were vacated.

The Trios title ended up being help by PAC, Rey Fenix, and Pentagon until January 2023 while the AEW World Heavyweight Championship would be returned to Jon Moxley who regained the title and held onto it until November where he lost in what many can considered controversial fashion to Max Friedman.

Many people including myself were under the impression that a deal was reached where CM Punk would be let go by the company for his actions. Not the case as we learned that this Saturday (June 17, 2023) a new AEW show will premiere called "AEW Collision" and the show will heavily involve CM Punk.

Now...how did people react to his imminent return. Not very good. From everything I heard and read, the reaction was very negative with boos almost all over arenas and on social media. AEW tried to cover it up by finding those who'll cheer his return. It didn't work. Worse than that...the announcement of his return caused slow ticket sales so what happens next...let's announce his return match.

CM Punk, Dax Harwood, and Cash Wheeler vs. Jay White, Juice Robinson, and Samoa Joe. If you're a Jay White fan, you'd be like "yay, Jay's on AEW Collision" in an exciting way but when you read he has to face Punk in 6-man tag action you like "yay, Jay's on AEW Collision" but your excitement meter goes down.

To make matter worse for AEW, they aired a VTR of Punk last night on AEW Dynamite that got the crowd booing even more. And from the people I follow on social media, all were furious that AEW keeps on showing Punk. Some even ask "why has he not been punished yet for his actions" "why is he getting awarded when everyone got punished"

These questions I cannot answer but I can say that AEW has a problem (CM Punk). They've tried almost everything to cover up the problem and instead have made it worse. And now...I read something in which this problem AEW has with Punk is so bad, I don't know how they're going to solve it at this point. That something...an interview that apparently and/or reportedly went out of control. Read some details on it and...it's not good.

The last time I watched AEW was the week before "All Out 2022" in which I was starting to question Punk's booking at the time but was somewhat proud to see Kenny Omega back in the ring. Haven't watched AEW since then and until they release CM Punk, have no intention to watch AEW again though there'll be times I'll watch certain highlights but not a full show.

One more thing I've been reading since they've been announcing his return was a proposed match against KENTA at "Forbidden Door 2023" taking place June 25th in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. From what I read, many are thrilled about the proposed match because this could solve the one issue many have, who really owns the "GTS'. Instead, I read that Punk was "not interested". Reading that really boils me up because how in the world can you not be interested in facing a former GHC Heavyweight Champion, a 3-time GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion, a 3-time GHC Junior Tag Team Champion, a former GHC Tag Team Champion, a former Global League winner, a former IWGP United States Champion, a former NEVER Openweight Champion, and a 2-time (and reigning) Strong Openweight Champion. Why in the world do you say "not interested" to someone is regarded by many to be the best the world has to offer. Read KENTA's response to the proposed match and...it's a interesting one because he'll only do it if it requires the money provided but if Punk is saying "not interested" then why bother.

Again, AEW has a problem that they've yet to solve and based on all I've read, based on all I've heard, and based on almost everything I've said here...are not even going to attempt to solve the problem and it's a shame that this is happening. None of this would have happened if they had just fired Punk. Instead, look where we're at right now. This (AEW Collision with Punk) is going to blow up in their face.

With that...done talking about Punk here. Again, everything I just typed right here on my Pro Wrestling Express is all in my opinion. Feel free to comment on your opinion in this ongoing problem that AEW has no attempt to solve at this time.

Nick's Match Review of the Day:

Nigel McGuinnes v. KENTA (Ring of Honor 7th Anniversary Show) 3/21/09

A bit of a long one, clocking in at just over 25 minutes. The lengthy runtime may be a turn-off for some people (for some odd reason) but those twenty-five minutes are chock-full of wrestling wizardry. The 2000s were some of the best years for Ring of Honor, featuring some of their biggest stars, best matches, and their working relationship with Pro Wrestling NOAH. That relationship allowed numerous ROH talents through the years like Samoa Joe, Homicide, Davey Richards, El Generico, Roderick Strong, Jay & Mark Briscoe, Jimmy Rave, CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Nigel McGuinness, Chris Hero, Erick Stevens, and Kevin Steen to compete with NOAH talent such as KENTA, Kenta Kobashi, Naomichi Marafuji, Go Shiozaki, and Takeshi Morishima. The ROH x NOAH partnership thus allowed for a slew of legendary matches combining technical wizardry and stiff striking in a beautiful and brutal cocktail of violence.

KENTA's resume speaks for itself - trained by the great Kenta Kobashi, the innovator of the GTS (Go to Sleep) was a multi-time GHC Jr. Heavyweight and 1x GHC Heavyweight and tag team champion in NOAH, spending over a decade with the promotion. He would later move to the United States for an uneventful stint with the WWE as Hideo Itami, before returning to Japan, arriving in New Japan Pro Wrestling, aligning with the Bullet Club, and making a few appearances for All Elite Wrestling along the way. He's renowned for his ability and is undoubtedly a legend.

Nigel McGuinness does not have the same kind of career as KENTA. His brightest moments were in Ring of Honor, holding both the World and PURE championships in superb, lengthy reigns. His clashes with Morishima and especially Bryan Danielson became the stuff of legend amongst ROH fans, but unlike Danielson, his talent couldn't outweigh his concussion concerns. A chance at joining the WWE was dashed by his history of head injuries, and the arguably biggest role he would wind up playing was Desmond Wolfe in TNA. Life sadly dealt him a bad hand, but his performances during his time in the ring still impress even years later.

As apart of ROH's 7th Anniversary show in 2009, KENTA and Nigel met in the ring in a match for Nigel's ROH World Championship. The champion entered the match with an arm injury suffered during a previous tag match, but still managed to perform at an exceptional level during the contest. Even though it was Nigel that came in hurt, much of the match revolved around the story of the champion targeting KENTA's arm. With multiple Tower of Londons, including one to the outside of the ring, being hit and Nigel attempting to weaken the challenger to set up the London Bridge, KENTA spends much of the match as the underdog attempting to come up from behind. The contest has numerous close calls and on many occasions it truly feels like KENTA will claim the world title.

It's a very good match, and one of Nigel's best defenses. ROH was something special in the early 21st century, and Nigel and KENTA were big parts of that.

⭐⭐⭐⭐. 5 stars out of five.

Golden Week Begins: NOAH Majestic Night 1 - 4/29/2022; STARDOM Cinderella Tournament 2022 Finals - 4/29/2022; AJPW Champion Carnival 2022 Final Set; Dragon Gate, TJPW, DDT, Osaka Pro, More

Golden Week has begun. The annual week of holidays always has a lot of pro wrestling going on, so let’s just get into this special post.

Pro Wrestling NOAH

NOAH returned to action for the first time in nearly two weeks, with the first night of Majestic 2022 from Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan. This was the “N Innovation” part of the event, with a lot of outside wrestlers coming in from the USA, Mexico and Australia. Possibly the most talent from outside of Japan on a single show since the pandemic started. Jushin Thunder Liger was a guest on commentary for this show.

Majestic 2022 - 4/29/2022, Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan (ABEMA)

Ikuto Hidaka [Perros del Mal de Japon] d. Kai Fujimura (Shawn Capture, 6:37)

Slex d. Yasutaka Yano (Business Bomb, 8:37)

Kotaro Suzuki [Perros del Mal de Japon] TLD Yuya Susumu [STINGER] (20:00)

NOSAWA Rongai, Texano Jr. & Super Crazy [Perros del Mal de Japon] d. Tadasuke [Kongo], Hajime Ohara [Kongo] & Shuji Kondo [Dragon Gate] (Texano > Tadasuke, Road to Texas, 10:46)

Hair v. Hair + Loser Must Change Name: Hao d. Nio [Kongo] (Tatsumaki, 16:03)

Extreme Tiger [FREE] d. Seiki Yoshioka [STINGER] (Tijuana Lock, 11:31)

HYO, SB KENTo & Shun Skywalker [Z-Brats] d. Daisuke Harada, Alejandro & Junta Miyawaki (Skywalker > Miyawaki, SSW, 25:00)

3-Way Elimination Match: Ninja Mack [GCW] d. Dragon Bane [IWRG] & Alpha Wolf [IWRG] Order of Eliminations: - Bane > Wolf, Twister Bane, 15:47 - Mack > Bane, Ninja Bomb, 18:03

GHC Juniorheavyweight Tag Team Championship: Yoshinari Ogawa & Chris Ridgeway [STINGER] d. Atsushi Kotoge & YO-HEY (c) (Ridgeway > Kotoge, Stretch Muffler, 33:41) - Kotoge/YO-HEY fail their 3rd defense - Ogawa/Ridgeway are the 50th champions

GHC Juniorheavyweight Championship: HAYATA [STINGER] d. Eita [Perros del Mal de Japon] © (Headache, 28:08) - Eita fails his 1st defense - HAYATA is the 49th champion

Eita doesn’t even last his first defense, which makes sense, as he is not a NOAH-contracted wrestler, despite the fact there is a lot of Dragon Gate talent nowadays (Z-Brats and Eita today, Masaaki Mochizuki and Don Fujii on tomorrow’s show). Daisuke Harada v. HYO in a singles match will happen on 5/14/2022 in Yokohama.

HAYATA declared he would usher in a new era of NOAH. I hope that’s good, what with attendances not great (1585 reported today), and everyone associated with their English social media accounts being gotten-to weirdos (to wit, getting into it with one of my oldest friends in puroresu internetting, over them misspelling it as “Ryuguku” on a meme edit yesterday).

Is this the first time Texano Jr. has appeared in NOAH? It would appear so. I know he is no longer in AAA since last year, so he is freelance as of now. Ninja Mack said he wants to become the GHC Junior champion. It’s good to have goals. Alpha Wolf is also known as Hijo de Canis Lupus.

Nio of Kongo lost his hair, and also now will lose his name, following defeat to his former Kongo stablemate Hao. Slex is an Australian wrestler; he once wrestled Kazuchika Okada in Sydney.

The GHC Heavyweight title match has now been confirmed, as Kaito Kiyomiya will in fact be Go Shiozaki’s opponent in the decision match main event tomorrow at Ryogoku. That will be on Wrestle Universe. As a reminder, an utter piece of human filth is in a featured match on this show facing Masa Kitamiya, so be warned.

- 4/30/2022, Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan (Wrestle Universe)

Slex & Kai Fujimura v. Alejandro & Yasutaka Yano

King Tany, Muhammad Yone & Akitoshi Saito [Funky Express] v. Manabu Soya, Tadasuke & Hajime Ohara [Kongo]

NOSAWA Rongai, Eita, Texano Jr., Kotaro Suzuki & Super Crazy [Perros del Mal de Japon] v. HAYATA, Yoshinari Ogawa, Chris Ridgeway, Seiki Yoshioka & Yuya Susumu [STINGER]

Kazushi Sakuraba & Kendo Kashin [Sugiura-gun] v. Masaaki Mochizuki [M’s Alliance] & Don Fujii [Dragon Gate]

Masato Tanaka [M’s Alliance] & Daiki Inaba v. Renee Dupree [FREE] & Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. [FREE]

Masa Kitamiya v. Michael Elgin [FREE]

GHC National Championship: Masakatsu Funaki [Kongo] (c) v. Simon Gotch [FREE]

Daisuke Harada, Atsushi Kotoge, YO-HEY & Junta Miyawaki v. Dreagon Bane [IWRG], Alpha Wolf [IWRG], Extreme Tiger [FREE] & Ninja Mack [GCW]

Naomichi Marufuji [M’s Alliance] & X v. Yoshiki Inamura & Kinya Okada

GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Championship: Takashi Sugiura & Hideki Suzuki [Sugiura-gun] © v. Kenoh & Katsuhiko Nakajima [Kongo]

GHC Heavyweight Championship Decision Match: Go Shiozaki v. Kaito Kiyomiya

STARDOM

The winner of the Cinderella Tournament 2022 has been determined, on a show that also featured several title matches, including the World Of Stardom championship.

Cinderella Tournament 2022 Finals - 4/29/2022, Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

3-Way Match: Ami Sorei [God’s Eye] d. Mai Sakurai [Donna del Mondo] and Waka Tsukiyama [Cosmic Angels] (Sorei > Tsukuiyama, Brainbuster, 4:19)

Future of Stardom Championship: Hanan [STARS] © d. Hina [Queen’s Quest] (Backdrop Hold, 6:26) - Hanan succeeds her 5th defense

Cinderella Tournament 2022 Semifinal: Koguma [STARS] d. Hazuki [STARS] (Jackknife Hold, 6:17)

Cinderella Tournament 2022 Semifinal: MIRAI [God’s Eye] d. Natsupoi [Donna del Mondo] (Miramare, 8:17)

Trios Gauntlet Match: Tam Nakano, Mina Shirakawa & Unagi Sayaka [Cosmic Angels] d. Giulia, Maika & Thekla [Donna del Mondo] and Utami Hayashishita, Saya Kamitani & Lady C [Queen’s Quest] and Ruaka, Starlight Kid & Momo Watanabe [Oedo Tai] and Mayu Iwatani, Saya Iida & Momo Kohgo [STARS] and Saki Kashima, Rina & Fukigen Death [Oedo Tai] Order of Eliminations: - Iwatani > Lady C, 4:06 - Watanabe > Iida, 5:11 - Kid > Sayaka, 5:01 - Maika > Ruaka, 3:35 - Nakano > Giulia, 7:19

High Speed Championship: AZM [Queen’s Quest] © d. Mei Suruga [Gatoh Move] (Azumisushi, 13:06) - AZM succeeds her 2nd defense

Cinderella Tournament 2022 Final: MIRAI [God’s Eye] d. Koguma [STARS] (Miramare, 11:45) - MIRAI wins the Cinderella Tournament 2022

World of Stardom Championship: Syuri [God’s Eye] © d. Himeka [Donna del Mondo] (SyuSekai, 21:24) - Syuri succeeds her 4th defense

MIRAI wins the tournament, and afterwards challenges her stable’s leader Syuri to the Red Belt. Mei Suruga asked to form a team with AZM following her defeat in the High Speed title match.

STARDOM have a whole Golden Week Fight Tour coming up starting Sunday, with a big show on 5/5/2022 from Fukuoka Kokusai Center that will feature three title matches, as well as an elimination match between Donna del Mondo v. God’s Eye. I’d type it all up here but my day has already gotten away from me.

Wrestle Kingdom 16 Day 3 preview

It's become customary for Wrestle Kingdom to run across January 4 and 5, but this year we get yet another show. The third event, however, will be a little different. It's in Yokohama Arena instead of the Tokyo Dome. It's being broadcast on a different provider, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Japanese Red Cross. And it's a special interpromotional event, pitting New Japan against Pro Wrestling NOAH.

The January 8 kicks off at 2am EST, Friday night/Saturday morning. The only way to catch it live is to order it on pay-per-view though AbemaTV for about 3690 yen (roughly $34.28 US). The exact price is a little unclear because you have to pay real money for "Abema coins," and then spend 3300 of those on the show. Once you order the show, you can watch it on-demand for about two weeks before it's moved to a premium area. If this all sounds confusing you may want to check out this guide on how to order.

If you don't want to fool with Abema (and I don't blame you), don't fret. A week after the show, New Japan and Noah will both add it to their streaming sites. NJPW World is 999 yen ($8.65 US) for one month, and Wrestle Universe is 900 yen ($7.79 US) per month.

I know very little about Noah, so this isn't going to be terribly in-depth. To keep things straight, I'm marking the names of Noah wrestlers in their signature color, green.

Kazuchika Okada & Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Keiji Muto & Kiyomiya Kaito - Okada is the leader of CHAOS and the IWGP world heavyweight champion. Tanahashi is the IWGP United States champion and the leader of New Japan's hontai (home unit), which is generally friendly with Chaos these days. Muto and Kaito are members of M's Alliance. Muto is one of the GHC tag team champions, but he's far better known worldwide as The Great Muta. A 59-year-old legend, Muto has held the top titles in New Japan, All Japan, Noah, and the NWA.

There isn't a lot of storytelling leading into the matches on this show. Kiyomiya, a rising young star, reminds Tanahashi of himself at that age. As it happens, when Tana was that age, he had some battles with Muto. So he has a chance to prove himself against both the new generation and the last. As for Okada, I don't get the impression he's taking the Noah side all that seriously, but then again it's pretty standard for Okada to be dismissive of his opponents going into a match.

It's hard to pick winners without knowing if this New Japan/Noah crossover is leading to anything in the future. If this is a one-and-done, it probably won't matter much who wins, although New Japan is the company that booked the building so I assume their guys will get the last word. But if they're building to future interpromotional matches, it would make sense to shock the world by letting Kiyomiya score an upset on either Okada or Tanahashi.

Tetsuya Naito & Shingo Takagi & Hiromu Takahashi & SANADA & BUSHI vs. Kenoh & Katsuhiko Nakajima & Manabu Soya & Tadasuke & ALEJA - Naito's team is Los Ingobernables de Japon; Kenoh's team are part of KONGO. Nakajima is the GHC heavyweight champion, and Kenoh is the GHC national champion. At the time this match was booked, Takagi was the IWGP world champion, and there was a war of words between him and Nakajima. So I expect a lot of tension here.

I don't know anything about Kongo or its members, but they stood out to me when Noah "invaded" the January 5 show. Everybody was decked out in black-and-green Noah shirts, except the Kongo guys were wearing bright red. I can tell you don't want to fuck around with these dudes. I also know LIJ doesn't give a shit who they shouldn't fuck around with. So this should be fun.

I'm assuming there will be a certain parity to the finishes on this show. It figures that the top two NJPW champions will win in the main event, and the top two Noah champions will win in this match.

Zack Sabre Jr. & Yoshinobu Kanemaru vs. Naomichi Marufuji & Yoshinari Ogawa - Marufuji (of M's Alliance) is one of the GHC tag team champions, and Ogawa (from Stinger) is one of the GHC junior heavyweight tag team champions. Sabre and Kanemaru are from Suzuki-gun; Sabre is part of a top heavyweight tag team, and Kanemaru is part of a top junior team.

Marufuji is one of the few Noah guys I'm kind of familiar with, since he was involved in the last NJPW/Noah storyline a few years back. He's more or less their equivalent to Tanahashi, in that he's been their "ace" but he's also getting on in years. I'm pretty sure he's in this match and not the main event so that he can get a win, probably by pinning Kanemaru.

EVIL & Dick Togo vs. Go Shiozaki & Masa Kitamiya - Evil is the NEVER openweight champion and one of the NEVER trios champions. He and Togo are part of the House of Torture, a particularly nasty sub-unit of Bullet Club. Shiozaki and Kitamiya are in the Noah home unit, and I presume that means they're straight-up babyfaces. So everybody's going to be rooting for them to win this, because nobody likes the House of Torture.

If this goes like every other Evil match in the past two years, the House of Torture will do almost nothing but cheat and pull cheap shots to kill the crowd. If I was Shiozaki or Kitamiya, I wouldn't particularly want my big interpromotional match to go down like that. So maybe things will be different, just this once? I won't count on it. I'll pick Evil and Togo to win to reduce my inevitable disappointment.

Minoru Suzuki & Taichi & TAKA Michinoku vs. Takashi Sugiura & Kazuchi Sakuraba & ??? - Suzuki's team represents Suzuki-gun, and Sugiura's team represents Sugiura-gun, so that's pretty straightforward. The third man on the Sugiura-gun team was originally scheduled to be KENTA, which was interesting because he has a long history with Noah but he's been with New Japan since 2019. But Kenta had to be pulled due to injuries sustained on January 5. His replacement will not be named until the match begins, and it's anyone's guess if that man will be from NJPW or Noah.

For a few years, Suzuki-gun completely disappeared from New Japan to "invade" Noah. I don't know all the details, but Sugiura turned heel to join the group, only to turn again and help Noah run Suzuki-gun out of town. So that sets up a pretty good story right there, and we don't even know who the sixth man in the match will be.

I think Suzuki-gun will win this match, but it's tough to be sure, especially without knowing if the mystery partner will be really good or just some young boy.

El Desperado & DOUKI vs. YO-HEY & NOSAWA RONGAI - Despy (the IWGP junior heavyweight champion) and Douki are from Suzuki-Gun. Yo-Hey and Nosawa represent Perros Del Mal de Japon, which is a spinoff of a notorious Mexican faction, sort of like LIJ. Douki and Despy have each spent a lot of time in Mexico, so I gather they've had some run-ins with Perros Del Mal in one form or another. Hopefully this will be a good evenly-fought matchup between four total hooligans. I'll give the edge to Yo-Hey and Nosawa, since Douki is definitely a weak link for the other team.

Taiji Ishimori & Gedo vs. HAYATA & Seiki Yoshioka - Ishimori and Gedo are from Bullet Club. Hayata and Yoshioka represent the Stinger faction; Hayata is a co-holder of the GHC junior heavyweight tag team championship. This match is apparently built around old history between Ishimori and Hayata, before Taiji jumped to New Japan. Again, Gedo is a weak link, and I think that gives Noah another win.

SHO vs. Atsushi Kotoge - Sho is with the House of Torture, and Kotoge is in Noah's home unit. Even New Japan's website couldn't think of much to say about this one. I expect another House of Torture victory to piss everyone off.

Hirooki Goto & YOSHI-HASHI & Tomohiro Ishii & Ryusuke Taguchi & Master Wato vs. Daisuke Harada & Hajime Ohara & Daiki Inaba & Yoshiki Inamura & Kinya Okada - Goto and Yoshi (the IWGP heavyweight tag team champions) and Ishii are mainstays in CHAOS. Taguchi and Wato are part of New Japan's home unit. Their opponents are all aligned with Noah's home unit.

Yuji Nagata & Satoshi Kojima & Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs. King Tany & Muhammad Yone & Akitoshi Saito - This is scheduled for the pre-show. Tany's team represents the Funky Express stable, which stuck out like a sore thumb when the Noah guys appeared on the January 5 show. I'm hoping they'll be a lot of fun. Nagata's team represents the NJPW home unit, and more specifically the "third generation," who had their best years in the late 90s and early 2000s. So this match is "old guys" vs. "old guys having a mid-life crisis." I don't know who'll win, but I'm rooting for the Funky Bunch.

Kosei Fujita vs. Yasutaka Yano - This is also on the pre-show. Both New Japan and Noah have a developmental system where young rookies learn their craft by wrestling each other in the prelim matches. So this is a battle of the young boys, with Fujita representing New Japan and Yano representing Noah.

On paper it shouldn't matter who wins this battle of rookie jobbers. But since this is a nine-match show, one side could pick up five wins while the other only gets four. So if you're Fujita or Yano, you don't want to be the kid who got your side on the wrong start. Regardless, I think there's a good chance this one could go to a time limit draw, just to put both guys through their paces.

so i guess i’m going to be checking out NOAH for the Minoru Tanaka I crave. He’s GHC Jr Tag team champion.

It was a travesty when he wasn’t working for any major group after leaving Wrestle-1.

he’s the fore bearer of all the juniors in njpw and also all over puroresu because he and Koji Kanemoto were very influential over junior heavyweight wrestling in the 90s and early 00s.

basically the style and pace of jr matches is his hallmark. he’s the bedrock. Liger needed someone like him in the other corner.

also he’s got battlarts street cred that is undeniable.

My Take on the official reunion of AXIZ and the rumored reunion of the Golden Lovers

Back in 2018 I wrote two-three opinion articles on the Reunion of the Golden Lovers (Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi). Before anyone reads the rest of this new opinion article I'm typing please click here to read the previous opinion article titled " Six Months Later...Golden Lovers Merge While The Shield Reunites".

Now...this new opinion article will talk about the rumored reunion of the Golden Lovers and the official reunion of AXIZ.

Some of you may now be thinking "AXIZ, who are they and what do they have to do with the Golden Lovers?" The answer to this question is not much but here I want to talk about their history and that's what my plan is.

In December 2018, the Golden Lovers abruptly went on hiatus after winning their final match against Hiroshi Tanahashi and Will Ospreay in Korakuen Hall. A few weeks before that in the same arena, Katsuhiko Nakajima was a finalist for the 2018 Global League Tournament (now N1 Victory) facing Kaito Kiyomiya in which Nakajima lost to the then-22 upstart athlete from Saitama. What happened afterwards was so in the dark that not many knew until they saw it though various photos. After the match between Kiyomiya and Nakajima, Go Shiozaki comes out seemingly to congratulate the winner (both were tag partners through most of 2018) but instead went to console the person that was pinned. Right after that, Shiozaki and Nakajima teamed up to win the GHC Tag Team Championships but lost the belts almost a week later in controversial fashion.

We now fast forward ourselves to February 2019 where by then the Golden Lovers have quietly split up with Kenny Omega gone to AEW and Kota Ibushi staying in NJPW where over in Pro Wrestling NOAH, Katsuhiko Nakajima and Go Shiozaki were given a second chance at regaining the GHC Tag Team Championships and on February 24th, that's what they did. Backstage after winning the titles for a second time, they decided to call themselves "AXIZ".

From that date on until August 2020; AXIZ was seen by many as one of the best tag teams in pro wrestling. According to Cagematch, both AXIZ and the Golden Lovers were ranked in the top 10 tag teams of all time (as of May 7, 2023 at 9:30 PM Eastern) with AXIZ ranked at No. 4; Golden Lovers at No. 9. With that ranking, one can say AXIZ surpassed the Golden Lovers but there's always a debate on which team is better no matter what the ranking is.

AXIZ's second reign as champions ended on June 13th but immediately were given a rematch in which they manage to win back the belts a third time and hold on to the belts until January 5, 2020. The day before that, Go Shiozaki became a 4-time GHC Heavyweight Champion by defeating Kaito Kiyomiya and in the process have one of the longest reigns in its title history. Despite Go now being a singles champion, both him and Nakajima were hoping for another tag title shot after losing them but COVID hit and much changed. On the same night Go Shiozaki was to have his first title defense in his fourth reign as GHC Heavyweight Champion, Katsuhiko Nakajima approached GHC National Champion Takashi Sugiura with the intentions to challenge and win the title. On May 9, 2020 in the main event; Nakajima would pin Sugiura to become the second GHC National Champion.

By the time pro wrestling was back doing live events in some capacity, AXIZ was on top not just in tag team but in singles as well with Go as the GHC Heavyweight Champion and Katsuhiko as the GHC National Champion. Everything seemed to be rolling for the two when wrestling live events resumed but the rolling would stop when the month of August 2020 hit.

August 4, 2020; Katushiko Nakajima would lose the GHC National Championship to Kenoh. 26 days later, after losing a chance to become 4-time GHC Tag Team Champions with Go Shizoaki, Nakajima breaks up AXIZ to join Kongoh. Though AXIZ was done in Nakajima's eyes, as I learned it was not the case for Go. Despite the betrayal, Go still believed himself to be a part of AXIZ and awaited the day Nakajima would return to reform the tag team.

While they waited, Nakajima and Shiozaki would wrestle 3 times in singles competition. First time was November 22, 2020 for the GHC Heavyweight Championship with Nakajima as the challenger (which he earned by winning N1 Victory 2020) and the champion being Shiozaki. Most times I compare this match to the one at "Wrestle Kingdom 15" between Will Ospreay and Kazuchika Okada because of the brutality and the fact the way they fought, it would most times scare me. Despite me saying that, in a match that went nearly 43 minutes, Go retains the title while sustaining an injury in the later minutes of the match itself. The second time they would meet would be on January 1, 2022 where by then it was Katsuhiko Nakajima who was the champion with the now-returning Go Shiozaki being the challenger. On that date, both wrestled what many considered to be a 2022 MOTY contender. Nakajima would emerge victorious from that match with a new finishing move that has not been seen since. The third time they met was on March 23, 2022 in which by then, there was no title, only pride. Go Shiozaki was starting a new streak while Katushiko Nakajima was looking for answers after losing the GHC Heavyweight Championship 35 days after defending it against Shiozaki. The third match went a lot faster than their previous two. Go would emerge victorious in a match that was nearly 20 minutes long. Their previous two matches went over 30 minutes.

Go would go on to win the GHC Heavyweight Championship for a record fifth time but would become the first of three straight V0 Champions when he lost the championship on his first defense to Satoshi Kojima at CyberFight Festival 2022. After losing the title, Go struggled to find himself and ended up eventually being out of action after N1 Victory 2022. Meanwhile, Katsuhiko Nakajima was trying his best to stay on track but in most tag matches, he ended up becoming the guy to eat the pin. At the N1 Victory 2022 block finals, both were in line to win their block but needed help. Neither of them made the finals in which Nakajima's backstage comments could be what I consider the first clue to a AXIZ reunion.

By the time 2023 hits, rumors started to spread on a Golden Lovers reunion that was even seen in various episodes of the YouTube web series "Being The Elite" in which in some scenes (haven't watched the series since 2019 so I'm going based only on photos) Kenny can be seen texting someone. Many believe that to be Kota Ibushi but as of right now, nothing is official yet.

Surprisingly, there were little to no rumors of AXIZ reuniting but seeds were being planted for the possibility. Those seeds in my opinion started on January 4, 2023 when Kongoh went to the Tokyo Dome to confront Los Ingobernables de Japon with the intention to "settle the score".

If you look at the video below, you'll notice that Nakajima does not have the same expression as the rest of Kongoh does which can tell you that it was starting. More than that, while the rest of Kongoh left in an orderly fashion, Nakajima left with the look that said "Sorry about that" as a way of apologizing for the abrupt appearance. He did the same thing at the official "Wrestle Kingdom 17 in Yokohama Arena" press conference which involved 5 of the 6 (at the time) LIJ members and 5 of the 8 (at the time) Kongoh members.

youtube

Seeds were planted a lot more when (according to all I was able to read) during the Road to NOAH's Tokyo Dome event on February 21st, Kenoh decided to dig into a history that I think Nakajima didn't want to talk about, that of him and AJPW's Kento Miyahara. The match (which was a 6-man tag) went on with apparently no issues. Kongoh managed to come out victorious, but Nakajima's backstage comments would leave many including Kenoh puzzled.

The possibilities increased a lot more when Go Shiozaki made a surprise appearance in Sendai on April 16th to announce his in-ring return.

youtube

Later on that same night, Katsuhiko Nakajima walked in as the challenger for the GHC Heavyweight Championship, this time held by newcomer Jake Lee. Something I didn't notice live but eventually did was the gear that Nakajima was wearing. He was wearing the same ring attire he wore on January 1, 2022. On the build back then, a stipulation was suggested that if Nakajima was to lose the title to Go Shiozaki, he would have to leave Kongoh and reform AXIZ. Since Nakajima won that night, the stipulation never came to fruition. But on that April 16th date, Nakajima walked into the title match against Jake Lee apparently with that stipulation in his mind. He ended up losing the title match in over 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, as rumors continue to spread of the Golden Lovers reuniting, Kenny Omega is reunited with a rival by the name Konosuke Takeshita in which he (as of this typing) has joined Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson to be part of "The Elite". Despite joining though, Kenny remained suspicious of Takeshita's intentions. Those intentions may be the key to the Golden Lovers reuniting again but only time will tell what the intentions may be or already are.

May 4, 2023; Ryogoku Kokukigan; Go Shiozaki returns in 6-man tag action by teaming with Kaito Kiyomiya and Yoshiki Inamura to face the Konogh members of Katsuhiko Nakajima, Kenoh, and Manabu Soya. In the match, Nakajima wore the same gear he wore back on January 1, 2022 and April 16, 2023. Meanwhile, Go Shiozaki comes out in the gear he wore when he won his fourth GHC Heavyweight Championship on January 4, 2020. The 6-man tag turned into somewhat of a blowout as though there were times of shine for Shiozaki and his team, it was not enough to defeat Kongoh. Nakajima would end up getting the winning pin by pinning Shiozaki. It was after the match though that the rumors became reality.

youtube

AXIZ officially reunited and on May 14th will have their first match together since August 28, 2020.

My take on this is that....Katsuhiko Nakajima was betrayed by Kenoh. To me, Kenoh betrayed him by abruptly deciding to go to the Tokyo Dome not understanding everyone may have different plans. Then by the time he dug into a history he shouldn't have, that was the end. So on May 4, 2023 in Ryogoku, Nakajima came into Ryogoku with the intention to officially reunite AXIZ. How it happened is in the video above. I've been waiting years to see AXIZ live in action and now on May 14, 2023; me and many will be to get the chance to do just that.

Meanwhile, as we await the reunion of the Golden Lovers, down below is a picture of them reuniting back in January 2018, ten months before AXIZ was formed.

Should the Golden Lovers reunite this could increase the chance of a possible dream match: Golden Lovers vs. AXIZ at either a future NOAH event or at "The Forbidden Door" in late June. The reason I'm saying this is there's not just rumors of a Golden Lovers reunion, there's also rumors about Kota Ibushi joining Pro Wrestling NOAH. It would be something if all these rumors come true. Right now, only one has come to light. AXIZ is back as we await the date the Golden Lovers reunite once again.

[NOAH NEWS] Three title matches have been announced to kick off the new year. The first of which seeing the new GHC Heavyweight Champion Kenoh defend the belt against the returning Kaito Kiyomiya on January 6 at the Korakuen Hall. The 21 year old Kiyomiya aims to capitalize on his training overseas and become the youngest GHC Heavyweight Champion, in which the honor current stands with Marufuji at 26 years old. Kenoh though will not be so eager to relinquish his first reign as he has fought from the ground up to finally earn the right to be a champion at this time. Let alone begin his new self-proclaimed era.

Also on the show Taiji Ishimori will be defending the X-Division belt against Andrew Everett, who replaces the injured DJZ. Then former WWE and Impact wrestler Jay Bradley will be on tour with NOAH as he takes on Takashi Sugiura in his debut match for the promotion.

Then at the end of the January tour, January 27 in Osaka, it was announced that Daisuke Harada will be defending the GHC Junior Heavyweight belt against Hajime Ohara and then “RATEL’S” HAYATA & YO-HEY will defend the GHC Jr. Tag belts against a former champion team in “Roots” Taiji Ishimori & Hi69.
