The coornavirus stuff is different because NJPW announced early into it that no title stripping would be happening to any of their champs because of the pandemic. Plus they were not going to do back-to-back title stripping for Moxley since the last time they did it, it didn't really benefit Lance Archer nor Juice Robinson.
Lol, that’s completely tangential and inconsequential to what I’m saying. I’m not disputing that they stripped Mox because of the typhoon. But they didn’t have to. I’m not saying they didn’t say they weren’t going to strip Mox this time. I’m saying they could have if they wanted to.
