But before those departures, we would have a <strong>World Junior Heavyweight Championship<\/strong> match between <strong>Izanagi<\/strong> and <strong>Super Crazy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Super Crazy made his AJPW return earlier this year during the <strong>Real World Tag League<\/strong>. He teamed with Tajiri in a failed effort in their block of action, but <strong>Super Crazy<\/strong> ended up with a title shot against <strong>Izanagi<\/strong>, which would lead to the final title match of the year for All Japan on <strong>AJP Prime Night<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Izanagi was to be making his first title defense since winning the World Junior Heavyweight Championship from <strong>SUGI<\/strong> at <strong>Champions Night 2<\/strong>. What many assumed would be an easy title defense for the new champion was thwarted as <strong>Super Crazy<\/strong> would defeat Izanagi to become the new <strong>World Junior Heavyweight Champion<\/strong> via a roll-up. This marks the first time Super Crazy has held the World Junior Heavyweight Championship.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to challengers for said championship, it can be assumed that he will make his first title defense during the upcoming <strong>New Year Wars<\/strong> tour at the start of the year. Who it will be against is another question entirely, as 2021 has legitimately been a busy year for this championship &#8211; with <em>six<\/em> new champions. It could be against Izanagi, it could be against his partner Tajiri. The only thing that is certain is that All Japan&#8217;s junior division has become Super Crazy.<\/p>\n<p><i>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/a><i>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
