Meanwhile Jay White's "NEVER gonna beat Jay White" tour ran into Hiroshi Tanahashi as The Ace was given his rematch for the NEVER Openweight Championship and regained the championship following a High Fly Flow. Kota Ibushi looking to bounce back, ended up in the crosshairs of the United States Champ, unfortunately KENTA bit off more than he could chew as Ibushi captured his first IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship win and joined Jay White as a NJPW Grand Slam winner. Around The World: - WWE held MITB2021 on Sunday, Week 3 , their first major PPV since the pandemic started. 41,000 fans attended the show as Seth Rollins and Charlotte Flair won their respective MITBs.

ROAD TO WK16 PART ONE - DOMINION 2021 ----- ----- Dominion 2021 Backstory: With the injury to IWGP World Heavyweight Champion WIll Ospreay, the title was officially vacated and Ospreay was stripped of it causing the main event of Dominion to change from Okada/Ospreay to Okada facing the first IWGP World Champion Kota Ibushi, the opinion of Ohbari was that Ibushi should be the one to challenge as the first champion and no other contenders have the right to challenge for the belt. Wreck's Note for Dominion 2021: In real life, this event was the birth of Shingo's reign that propelled him into main event status but when I had booked this dominion card, I believed that it was weird to give it to the guy who lost the previous title match rather than the first champion. So instead the card was changed drastically from the IRL one. The reasoning behind the US title change was me fixing a terrible call of not having KENTA beating Moxley, during the diary you're going to see that I was isolating myself from AEW and such. Around the world news: - The biggest news was that Daniel Bryan's contract with WWE was about to end and it caused a three company bidding war with WWE and AEW neck-in-neck and NJPW in a distant third. But in the end, Bryan signed a brand new two year contract, locking him in WWE till 2023. - WWE would also resign multiple fired talent as Andrade and Braun Strowman with NJPW losing another bidding war, this time for the former La Sombra.

The former booker of the year winner and Junior Legend announced that he would be stepping down as head of creative. To replace him, President Ohbari announced that Commentator and Toryumon graduate Milano Collection AT would be stepping up to head of creative and still keeping his commentary position. What direction will NJPW take under this new regime? Can Milano elevate the promotion after a disappointing 2020? WRECK'S NOTE So at the moment, this save file has been going on for two years as I started this in 2021. The first official show of the diary will be my universe's WK16 and we will proceed from there. All major events and tours will be given small posts until then, recapped with a basic on who were feuding and such. Once the recaps are finished, then posts such as rosters, title history and etc. till then there will be a handful of reserved posts for that.

I tend to normally read a lot of RW Diaries since I'm more familiar with them of course. But I've read like all of your diaries since "Third Brand". So I'll definitely binge through all of the early stuff.
