Tony said it was going to be an AEW guy or else.

I'm done with New Japan.
If I wanted to watch AEW I'd watch AEW.

Naito got to be part of Muto's retirement. I imagine Tana just had him on standby in case he couldn't get Nakamura or Okada. Even Kenny probably would've had a higher chance to retire Tana over Naito.

Either Naito's stubbornly loyal to NJPW or he signed some weird contract that doesn't let him work anywhere else in Japan. I can't see why he wouldn't bumble around NOAH or AJPW or something otherwise.

I don't like it either, that's why I'm sick of hearing about it in every gamethread when absolutely nothing involving AEW is even happening. Every god damn thread on here devolves into AEW shit.

In an interview after the Tanahashi/Okada announcement, he said he always thought he would return to NJPW but now has no reason to. So I guess he assumed they would try and bring him back, so didn't want to fuck it up by working other Japanese promotions. An embarrassing misjudgement on his part

Naito is my favorite Japanese wrestler. It's insane to me how he's been treated this decade.

Honestly, he should have jumped to WWE like 5 years ago.
Or CMLL full time

Did WWE even want him? I really can't imagine him being booked anywhere else but New Japan.

AEW's literally inserting a guy it poached away from New Japan, who said he wanted nothing to do with New Japan any longer, and hasn't been there in years, into a retirement match where it could literally be anyone else and where you *know* better alternatives were blocked. Naito. Fuck, there was even talk of Nakamura.
At least try to be a little honest here.

To be fair, WWE doesnt have a working relationship with NJPW

When Vince gave HHH the go-ahead to expand internationally he brought in Okada, Naito and Ibushi. Vince's teams then botched all 3 signings which is I guess why HHH did all major recruiting by himself after that and people were told to call him directly.

Exactly, he wasn't hired under the premise of it somehow being "okay" (despite the fact that he was the fucking ace of the company) because at least he could still show up in NJPW shows.

I never heard this before, LIJ in WWE instead of Judgement Day would have been gigadimes.
