also the problem with pushing tsuji right now is that naito is getting old and sawdusted, this is his last big one so they're going with him while they can. sanada isn't champion material, but they're using him as part of naito's story since he was in LIJ for so long.
naito won't have a long run. tsuji will probably get the title pretty quickly next year, whether it's from naito or a transitional guy like EVIL
