Is it weird that the match I'm looking forward to the most is Kingdom vs. Bullet Club?

Also, is AJ really going to go three months without defending the title?

Well if his next title match is announced for July, and it's currently April, that's three months with no defenses.

ohh haha, missed that part. it does seem long.

I'm guessing now with ROH and NJPW protecting AJ, they'll likely have him defend during the ROH/NJPW shows

That could do it. Maybe have him beat an ROH guy That probably works a lot better for New Japan, and the ROH fans know they aren't getting a title change on a non-NJPW show anyway.
