Though the lineage is still alive and well, i feel it's a good moment to reflect on the lineage of the V5 which has been the championship which has defined New Japan in the 2020s.
Though there are notable lows such as Moxleys reign, it has also hosted some reigns stemming from great moments where some of New Japan's best and top workers have finally gained their comeuppance. This includes the crownings of Zack Sabre Jr, Hirooki Goto and Shingo Takagi.
I feel that now the V4 has been restored including the lineage, we can all stop looking at V5 with such disdain and not only embrace, but respect the lineage it carved for itself since its inception.
