7. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Yuji Okabayashi

It’s time to find out who goes into Sumo Hall as the KO-D Openweight Champion. Shigehiro Irie and Yuji Okabayashi both debuted in 2008 and were looked upon to fill up the strong heavyweight roles that were missing from the independent scene. Okabayashi was quicker than Irie to taste success, winning tag team championships with Daisuke Sekimoto in both All Japan and their home Big Japan. It was only just recently that Irie has become the dominant force DDT wanted him to be, holding the record of most KO-D Title defences in a single reign.
