At the moment the consecutive defense record for the IWGP World Heavyweight Title stands at four defenses. It's held by four wrestlers – Okada, SANADA, Moxley and Sabre Jr. I'm thinking at this time that Goto is going to join that group. Gedo seems to be creating a log jam at the moment of champions who can get to that record of four, but can't get past it. The obvious reason for why he's doing this is to make it an even bigger deal when someone eventually passes that log jam to set the record at five on his own. My thought is that Gedo is saving this moment for one of the up and coming wrestlers. Which one of them I'll leave it up for debate.
Having stated this, the obvious conclusion to this thought when it comes to Sakura Genesis is that Goto is going to still be champion after that show is done. The win at Sakura Genesis will have him at three successful defenses. Assuming that there will be a defense at Windy City Riot that will mean that Goto will probably be dropping the title at Wrestling Dontaku.
