In a thrilling co-main event at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18, Kazuchika Okada emerged victorious over Bryan Danielson. The climax of the match was marked by Okada delivering a decisive second Rainmaker.

Throughout the bout, Danielson was relentless in his strategy, focusing on Okada's arm – a clear act of retribution for the injury Okada inflicted on him at Forbidden Door. Despite Danielson's persistent targeting, Okada resisted submission. Battling through the pain, Okada managed to execute counterattacks, even while visibly struggling with his injured arm.

The match concluded with a show of sportsmanship, as Danielson and Okada shared a moment of mutual respect. Danielson notably lifted Okada's uninjured arm in acknowledgment of his victory.
