A young new Ace potentially beating a Naito that won at WK 12 and got a full baby face run at the top for however long it lasted would probably come off better than whatever they are doing currently.
Naito never getting that full run at the top when he was White Hot will just make whoever beats him for the belt come off as second fiddle given Naito himself is winding down and pretty much has been floundering for years now even when he was the champ.
The quarantine was unexpected and is nobody’s fault but Naito not getting the run he deserved and Okada leaving has automatically put whoever is up next to carry the brand squarely in the hole from jump. Good luck to whoever has to piece this mess together.
