This match dropped the curtain on White’s NJPW career which began back in 2015 in the NJPW Dojo and then started back again in 2017 under his current Switchblade gimmick.
The 30-year-old from New Zealand also became the first NJPW Grand Slam champion and held the iconic IWGP Heavyweight title on two different occasions.
