Okada endured the exact hold he had submitted at Forbidden Door, as well as multiple Busaiku knees, before landing the second of his signature Rainmaker to score the pinfall and earn redemption on his home turf. After the match, Danielson and Okada shared respect for one another, bowing and shaking hands for their respective efforts in the match. 

Danielson has already declared that 2024 is due to be his last year in full-time competition, so there remains the question of whether there will be a rubber match between the pair. This was Bryan Danielson’s first Wrestle Kingdom appearance, and he did so as the co-main event.
