>The departure of Katsuhiko Nakajima (36), who fell from the All Japan Pro-Wrestling Triple Crown Heavyweight Title, is attracting attention.
>At the March 30 Ota-ku event, he took on Yuma Anzai (24) in a V5 match, which was a one-sided affair that lasted nearly 15 minutes. However, in the very last minute, he was hit with a German from a jumping knee, giving up a three-count in 20 minutes and 16 seconds. He lost the belt he had won last November. Nakajima left the venue silently, without appearing backstage after the match, with a fearless smile on his face amidst the commotion at the venue.
>He was not entered in the spring festival "Champion Carnival (CC)," which will be held in Korakuen on March 18, and a source from the organization testified, "Currently, he has no plans to appear in the ring for All Japan anymore. An official from Noah, his old stomping ground, also said, "He won't be entering ours. Is he going to the U.S.? The industry is keeping a close eye on Nakajima.
>It has been pointed out that there is a "mastermind" behind Nakajima, who serves as his de facto manager. Another All-Japan insider said, "Nakajima's disappearance means that the mastermind will probably leave All-Japan as well. Will this "normalize" the confusion that has persisted at the Royal Road mats since last year?
