You’ve got to be a real hater to not enjoy that match

Apparently Jay White's NJPW contract is up soon and will be leaving for either AEW or WWE. My guess is WWE
It seems NJPW is possibly about to lose some serious elite talent. Jay White and I believe Kota Ibushi's contract is up soon and Will Ospreay next year
Time for El Phantasmo to step up as new leader of Bullet Club

NJPW is going to be fukked in a real hurry. Jay White leaving and Ospreay probably going to leave in 2025 too. Assuming Tama Tonga and that bum Hikuleo leave too.It seems NJPW is possibly about to lose some serious elite talent. Jay White and I believe Kota Ibushi's contract is up soon and Will Ospreay next year
They can only tap into that Kenny Omega well for so long before they going to be fukked. Their heavyweight roster makes WWE's top of the roster look young.

If Jay White leaves, it should be considered time to call it a day with this Bullet Club run.
New Japan makes too much money from Bullet Club merchandise the club will never disband… CHAOS older than Bullet Club and that stable still around.

Neither White nor Ospray are the kind of big draws Omega, and to a lesser extent AJ Styles, were. It's a good thing if they let these gaijin talent leave because it will force them to either push newer people or try to come up with ways for drawing without the crutch of Gedo's booking for the past 8 years.
Will they lose quality? probably, but that can be regained in short time and just by booking talented wrestlers. That's the kind of shyt that can be done, and they have the partnerships to make that happen.
Business is bad anyway but they still have their biggest money making people on the roster, have promising prospects and are by faaar the most prepared promotion outside of the US to reset and try new shyt.

I saw somewhere that Jake Lee is about to become a free agent. He could be a possibility and also Konosuke Takeshyta isn't signed anywhere if I'm not mistaking.
No matter what NJPW needs an influx talent. Narita and Shota gotta bring it and very soon. I also wanna see Yuya Uemura's progression.

Takeshyta is All Elite
Does he ever show up on their programming? I saw him on Ibushi's Twitter timeline in Japan recently.

Gedo needs to stop putting so much stock on these ungrateful gaijin and start looking for more local talent.

He just came back to America late last year. Been on Dark some. Faces Danielson on Dynamite tomorrow. They are allegedly planning to give him a huge push this year.

I honestly don’t know how Jay will do and be used in the E. He’d be floating around in AEW.
