Storylines
At Dominion 6.11 in Osaka-jo Hall during Kenny Omega’s IWGP Heavyweight Championship match against champ Kazuchika Okada, Cody Rhodes would come out with intentions to throw to towel in on behalf of Omega. The Young Bucks would stop this but Omega would fail to win the match. At the G1 Special in USA Omega would return the favor looking to throw in the towel on behalf of Cody during his IWGP Title shot against Okada, Cody would lose the match. At New Year’s Dash!! after winning a 10-man tag match Cody would look to attack Kota Ibushi but Ibushi was saved by Omega. At The New Beginning in Sapporo (2018) Omega would lose the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship to “Switchblade” Jay White. After the match Hangman Page would look to challenge the new champ but was stopped by Kenny. This brought out Bullet Club member Cody, Marty Scurll, and Matt Jackson. In the chaos Omega accidentally push Matt on his injured back. Cody then hit Omega with Cross Rhodes and looked to attack Omega with a chair but was saved by Ibushi. Omega and Ibushi embraced and reunited the Golden Lovers. At Honor Rising Cody, Page, and Scurll beat the Golden Lovers and Chase Owens, the next the Lovers beat Scurll and Cody.
