Background

Yoshi-Hashi, a member of NJPW's main unit, has participated in multiple G1 Climax tournaments, with his most recent appearance in 2021. Chase Owens, now aligned with the House of Torture faction, has also competed in previous G1 Climax events, including the 2021 and 2023 editions. (en.wikipedia.org)

Considerations

Both wrestlers have a history of facing each other in NJPW events. In the 2021 G1 Climax, Yoshi-Hashi defeated Chase Owens. (wrestlezone.com) However, Owens has since joined the House of Torture faction, which is known for its underhanded tactics, potentially influencing the outcome of this match. (en.wikipedia.org)
