This is the fourth-ever singles match between Kazuchika Okada and Kota Ibushi. Going into this match, Okada was 2-1 over Ibushi, with Ibushi winning the most recent match between them.

The Ibushi/Okada match was the superior contest but the Naito/Okada match had the atmosphere, intensity, and tension that completely dwarfed it. The Naito/Okada match felt like it was the finaly 2 minutes of an extremely close Superbowl.
Nov 24, 2021 · Back in the ring, Ibushi sends Okada into the ropes but Okada ducks and lands a forearm. He follows with a corner splash/DDT combo for another two-count and then goes for a diving elbow drop. But Ibushi gets up so Okada lands on his feet and then lands an uppercut.
