Katsuhiko Nakajima Loses AJPW Triple Crown Championship To Yuma Anzai, Future With AJPW Uncertain
Katsuhiko Nakajima has lost the AJPW Triple Crown and his future is uncertain.
Nakajima lost the title to Yuma Anzai on night 5 of The Dream Power Series tour. The match ended abruptly as Nakajima had the upper hand for most of the contest, but Anzai was able to land a Jumbo Knee Strike and a German Suplex for a quick victory.
With this victory, Yuma Anzai is now the youngest person to ever hold the Triple Crown championship at just 24 years of age.
Nakajima would quickly leave the arena, not even appearing in the comment area. Afterward, Nakajima would post a video on social media, leaving the venue and wondering alone before deciding to lay his head down on a cardboard box and get some rest.

On March 29, Nakajima posted to social media that if he were president of AJPW he would isolate the organization, warning against people in other organizations who act only for their personal gain.
【理想に描く全日本プロレス】
俺が社長なら団体を完全に鎖国にするかな。
他社に要らぬ経験をさせられ団体の宝である若手を好きに使われ、王道スタイルが濁るだけ。
私利私欲の為にしか動かない人たちがいる限り悪循環を産む事だろう。大切な王道を輝かせる為に動いてきたが…#XXスタイル pic.twitter.com/EoxhDgOXPf

[Ideal All-Japan Pro Wrestling]If I were the president, I would completely isolate the organization.
The company’s young people, who are the treasures of the organization, are given unnecessary experience by other companies and used as they please, and the company’s classic style is only clouded.
As long as there are people who only act for their own personal gain, a vicious cycle will continue to develop.I have been working to make my precious royal road shine, but…
It is not known what Nakajima’s future with All Japan Pro-Wrestling is, Nikkan Sports wrote in their article that there’s a chance he may leave the promotion.
He has yet to enter the Championship Carnival tournament. Nakajima was working for Pro-Wrestling NOAH before leaving that promotion in October 2023 and joining AJPW in November.
Fightful will continue to monitor this story and report any and all updates.
