>>8755291In kayfabe, Okada pinned Kaito fair and square last year, and they had a tag match. Okada didn't think Kaito was shit and doesn't respect him. He doesn't think Kaito has had any advancement, or at least, enough of an advancement, so he kept ignoring him.
In his view, Kaito got this match not because he beat him, not because he won a tag match, not because he impressed, but because he did a cheap shot on him when he wasn't even the legal man and then went on a brawl.
Try to think of it in a sports sense. It'd be like rewarding an American football with a qualifier spot game for the Superbowl because in a friendly game they chimped out at you.
