The match ended after Oiwa submitted Lee Johnson, and a video from MJF played inside Hiroshima Sun Plaza Hall. The former AEW champion referred to Japan as “a third world country” and said that AEW is where the best wrestle; meanwhile, New Japan is where the best “leave”.
He offered to defend his Triple B at Wrestle Kingdom 21 on January 4 and will beat Oiwa with a simple side headlock takeover.
Oiwa accepted the challenge inside the ring and warned MJF not to disrespect New Japan Pro Wrestling.
