SANADA turned his back on Taichi at NJPW Power Struggle, costing him the IWGP Global Heavyweight Title bout against David Finlay.
It looked like Taichi had the title won after hitting Black Mephisto, but the referee was pulled to the outside just before he could count three. Taichi looked around confused as to who took out the referee.
SANADA stood ringside and revealed a Bullet Club War Dogs shirt, stunning Taichi.
Finlay took advantage of the situation, hitting Taichi with a shillelagh followed by Overkill, pinning him and retaining his IWGP Global Heavyweight Title.
After the match, SANADA helped Taichi up and then laid him out with a DDT.
