The rivalry continues as Tetsuya Naito and Shinsuke Nakamura go to war in Osaka next month. This feud has been going on a long time and the singles matches have been dominated by Nakamura but this will be a good chance for Naito to strike back. This was one of several matches added to the now complete card today as well as a big Elimination Match.
