It was a huge night in Tokyo as the landscape shifted once more with several factions changing forever more, future title matches being announced and the IWGP World Heavyweight Title match being on the line at King of Pro Wrestling.
Jay White once again changed the game as he, Jado and Gedo all officially cut ties with CHAOS and shockingly joining up with the B.C OG’z. Following Hiroshi Tanahashi‘s successful G1 Briefcase defence against The Switchblade via roll-up, White beat down his opponent until Kazuchika Okada made the save and got a measure of revenge against White and his former manager Gedo. Jado then appeared to make the save, only for the B.C OG’z to circle the ring.

It appeared that they were here to cause utter destruction. Then, the OG’z held Jado and Gedo and told Okada to choose a victim only for Tama to drop The Rainmaker with a Gun Stun. The army then laid a beat down on Okada, and stood over their fallen prey. Now, New Japan Pro Wrestling has a new monster stable to deal with going into Wrestle Kingdom.
