There are seemingly three obvious options:
1 & 2 – Depending on the result of the IWGP World title match at Wrestle Kingdom, either Ricochet vs. Zack Sabre Jr. or Claudio Castagnoli vs. Shota Umino. Ricochet has of course been away from NJPW for 7+ years and was a junior heavyweight previously, whereas Claudio only has a few NOAH tours from over 10 years ago under his belt, in addition to both working various WWE house shows in Japan.
3 – Gabe Kidd vs. Kenny Omega – Kenny still appears to be a huge star to the Japanese audience, having headlined the Tokyo Dome twice and being credited with two ‘double’ (semi) main events as well, but Gabe hasn’t been pushed at that level so far.
All of them except the Umino match would involve no Japanese wrestlers, which as far as I can tell would mark the first time since AJPW’s 2nd Wrestle-1 show in 2003 (Bob Sapp vs. Ernesto Hoost) that the Tokyo Dome has been headlined by two foreigners, and the first time since the joint AJPW/NJPW/WWF Wrestling Summit in 1990 (Hulk Hogan vs. Stan Hansen) for a New Japan-affiliated show.
