Since @LA_Galactico asked so nicely here's the thread the rest of you probably don't want on this morning's presser and Ibushi.
So first, let's talk about the presser itself.

Jay continues the mad shit he talked last night about Ibushi, EVIL, and only wanting to fight on Night 2. Nothing new here. Just a reiteration that he believes he and Naito share a destino.
It may shock you, but I too believe Jay and Naito share a destino.
We'll get to that...

Naito is Naito. A horrible gremlin with shitty hair and a fan at heart. Naito knows his G1 history. And Jay gave Naito the perfect pitch to hit.
Per Jay's suggestion he finds himself something to do. A fight with Ibushi that he says he wants more than the one with Jay.

In one request Naito tells Jay to fuck himself and the IWGP Committee that in kayfabe sanctions these bouts to fuck themselves.
Naito remembers. Not only when the G1 didn't have contracts. He remembers having his own right to ME being taken away from him.
Naito never forgets.

Then we have Sugabayashi who admits they need to review the last 24 hours before announcing WK matches.
Of course they should. You have Ibushi and YL's pointing to the tape saying he got fucked. You have Naito naming challengers. Jay only wants to fight on one day.
Chaos!

Storywise this is very simple compared to last year's Double Gold Dash.
Jay only wants to fight one day. Naito wants to fight both. Ibushi wants to fight Naito at WK. Ibushi wants to fight Jay the moment he can lay his hands on him.
Naito's proposal settles all this.

"But Ibushi has no claim! Jay has a certificate! Naito can't do this!"
Naito reminds us the G1 winner used to not have a certicate. Okada named Kenny for Dominion. No one told Okada "no".
Jay has a certificate, that he ripped up, that he wants to use on a certain date.

Ibushi left WK14 with his dick in his hands. This year has been a slow march to becoming God and atoning for those two losses.
At NYD his own god lifts him up. Says let's tag together.
This summer his god becomes a mortal, driven so low that he charges Ibushi to become God.

V2 for the G1 is a nice way to lay the foundation for Godhood. His name will remain in history, next to Tenzan and Mr G1 Chono.
Along the way he beat Okada like he was Douki. Survived a war with a King. Kicked the shit out of an Emperor and Kawada pupil. Escaped Muto's disciple.

But like all epics of transformation, and New Japan's booking, the road is never easy.
Jay White is the smarmy dick punching roadblock with a bridge troll sidekick. Naito is the king of the mountain.
And what better stage to vanquish them than the scene of his lowest moment?

Jay is right. He and Naito do share a "destino" this WK.
They share the destino of walking out of WK15 the way Ibushi will walk into it.
With nothing but shattered dreams.
