You also have to remember that they're paying Okada like $2.2 million a year and have him signed for five years, don't they? You treat that guy like he's worth it. If you take the belt off Okada and put it onto Naito now, then you're essentially promoting Naito to the Okada role, which means he should expect Okada money, whereas you're still paying Okada Okada money, but he's now not in the Okada role.

Obviously I'm not saying that Okada will never drop the belt or give anyone else a chance to run on top, but it's likely going to find its way back onto him before too long, and it'll be largely to freshen him up. Having him lose in the main event of the biggest show of the year isn't really an option, guys.
