Jay White will defend the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship against Kazuchika Okada At Wrestle Kingdom 17, and he recently spoke about his anticipation for the match. White spoke with Sports Illustrated for a new interview promoting tonight’s NJPW Rumble on 44th Street show, and you can see a couple of highlights below:

On the Bullet Club’s expansion: “I wanted to extend and expand Bullet Club bigger than we have before. It took time, but I’ve brought Bullet Club to AEW and Impact. That helped solidify us and gave us a new platform. Now I have the platform as IWGP champion to take Bullet Club to a new level. I feel like I’m living up to everything that I set out to do. Look at the state of Bullet Club. Look at The Good Brothers going back to WWE.”

On his scheduled match with Okada at Wrestle Kingdom: “This isn’t a story to me. This is my life. I’m not the guy people wanted when Kenny left. But whether they liked me or not, they couldn’t deny how good I was or how ready I was to step up to that position. Now they know they were wrong. This is my title and my time. Me and Okada is even bigger than Kenny-Okada.”
