5 Highlights From NJPW Dominion 6.11 In Osaka-Jo Hall
1. Cody And The Towel
Amid Kenny and Okada's classic, a seed of storyline intrigue was planted.
Okada had Kenny on the ropes, with repeated Rainmakers leaving the challenger unaware of his surroundings. His defeat looked certain, so to save his leader any further punishment, Cody led the rest of The Bullet Club down to the ring to throw in the towel.
There he was met by The Young Bucks; not only fellow BC members, but also Kenny's closest companions. Matt and Nick would not allow their ELITE partner to lose the match on anything but his own terms, stopping Cody from ending the contest. Kenny rallied from this point, almost claiming victory when he looked the most spent.
Cody and the rest of Bullet Club spent the remainder of the match willing Kenny on from ringside, but already fans are speculating about what this could mean for the future of the faction. Cody is already slated for the next crack at Okada, this time in California. As we saw with Adam Cole, two leaders in the BC does not work out so well.
Cody's star is on the rise. His WWE fame has helped him transcend the greater wrestling universe, and he could provide a natural adversary for the WWE-resistant Omega. Watch out for this dynamic as it develops in the coming months.
