Anyone interested in NJPW, EVIL won the New Japan Cup, turned on Los Ingobernables by beating down Naito, joined the Bullet Club, and promptly won the IWGP Heavyweight and IWGP Intercontinental Championships with the help of Dick Togo.
This is a monumental storyline change even by NJPW standards. They finally had someone leave JIJ, unseat Naito only six months after his historic win, and rocketed the overlooked member of LIJ passed SANADA. Looks like Gedo is trying to build a monster heel while KENTA and Jay White are not competing.
This is also the first Young Lion of the 2010's to win both belts, and is likely the first Triple Crown champion with the New Japan Cup win.
