#2 Tanahashi and Okada’s main event dominance
The last time someone who wasn’t Hiroshi Tanahashi or Kazuchika Okada main evented Wrestle Kingdom was back in 2010 when then-IWGP Heavyweight Champion Shinsuke Nakamura tangled with Yoshihiro Takayama
Trending
Tanahashi holds a record six-straight Tokyo Dome main events from 2011 to 2016. The man who defeated him in the 2016 main event - Okada, main evented the Dome shows from 2015 to 2018.
Tanahashi and Okada have battled each other at the Dome three times with ‘The Ace’ trumpeting ‘The Rainmaker’ 2-to-1.
Okada will miss out on the headline spot this time around as Tanahashi will challenge IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega for the title.
The Okada/Tanahashi feud is one of the greatest rivalries in wrestling in history, but things between the two have taken a fascinating turn recently. Okada and Tanahashi have joined forces to create a modern day ‘Mega Powers’. However, like Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage, these two can’t stay on good terms for long. We’ll likely see them clash again soon.
