Famous NJPW star attacks IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada ahead of their big title match
At NJPW Capital Collision, Jay White and Hikuleo of the Bullet Club secured an emphatic win over CHAOS members Kazuchika Okada and Rocky Romero. The two teams competed in a fun tag match in what felt like a preview of Okada's upcoming title defense against Switchblade at Dominion 6.12.
Tonight's match was originally set to feature AEW star Trent Beretta teaming up with The Rainmaker. However, a COVID-19 positive test forced the Best Friends member to withdraw from the show, with Romero replacing him.
In the closing stages of the Bullet Club vs. CHAOS tag team match, Romero rolled out White but was unable to get the three-count. King Switch eventually connected with the Bladerunner to secure the win for his team.
The crowd went absolutely wild for the White-Okada face-offs. However, it was after the match when The Rainmaker's arch-nemesis delivered a big message.
Following the pinfall victory, White hit Okada with the Bladerunner and put him on notice ahead of their world title clash at Dominion 6.12.
