Orange Cassidy has essentially made the international title on the level of the IWGP Intercontinental Championship when Shinsuke Nakamura held it, a very worthy main event.

On August 11, 2013, Naito won his first G1, and with it a certificate guaranteeing a match for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at the Tokyo Dome on January 4, 2014.
But after Naito's victory, the New Japan crowd rejected him. A vote was held to determine which match would be the main event for Wrestle Kingdom 8 - Okada vs Naito for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, or Tanahashi vs Shinsuke for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship. Naito lost the vote overwhelmingly, and the IWGP HW match was moved down on the card, demoted to the semi-main. Naito fought Okada at the Tokyo Dome in front of a crowd that hated him, and lost.
Ten years later almost to the day, on August 12, 2023, Naito beat Okada to win his third G1, and with it a guaranteed match for the IWGP World Heavyweight title at the Tokyo Dome, on January 4, 2024.
Ten years later, to the day, he'll get the main event spot that he was promised. And this time, I believe he'll win it.

The problem I have with this new IWGP global title is that "global championship" literally just means "world championship," and New Japan already has one of those. But then, I never thought the US title made any sense either, and Will Ospreay changing it to a UK title didn't help.
The concept here is that the world title will always be the tippy-toppy belt for all the biggest domestic shows, but the global title will be taken all over the world to represent New Japan in foreign markets. But that was the same pitch Ospreay made for his UK belt. And it was the same idea behind the US title, and the IWGP intercontinental title before that. The STRONG championships all have a similar mandate.
This idea never sticks, though, because whenever New Japan gets real traction in a foreign market, they send the world champion over there to headline shows. There's no particular reason not to send the world champion all over the world. Because that's literally what "world champion" means.
Having an "I'll defend this title all over the world" championship which isn't the world championship is only compelling if it's a shiny new toy. So it's no wonder New Japan has a glut of midcard titles that used to matter. Which then leads to the exhausted trope of a midcard champion saying his belt was a joke until "I mAdE tHIs rEleVaNt aGaIn!" I mean, a championship is supposed to be relevant because it's awarded to the guy who is best at beating up all the other guys. Except a secondary title can't be that, because it is--by definition--secondary to the world title.
I understand why New Japan keeps falling into this trap. It would be neat for Will Ospreay (or Jon Moxley, or David Finlay) to win this global belt and be The Guy outside of Japan. If NJPW is doing a show in Australia or England or the US, the global champ is there. If an international partner wants to book an NJPW title bout, the global champ is the guy to call. It sounds cool, but there's no reason to think it's actually going to happen this time. It'd be more plausible at this point to create a Japan title that stays in Japan, and put the world title on your traveling champion.

Jay White & Wrestle Kingdom
Jay White has never won a championship match at Wrestle Kingdom.
Everyone he has lost to at Wrestle Kingdom, he has also been able to beat in big matches on other occasions, often within months of his Wrestle Kingdom loss.
So early on we have:
Wrestle Kingdom 12 (2018): lost to Tana for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship
Wrestle Kingdom 13 (2019): defeated Okada, but no belt at stake
New Beginning in Osaka, Feb 2019: defeated Tana for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship
And then the pattern really sets in:
Destruction in Kobe, September 2019: defeated Naito for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship
Wrestle Kingdom 14 (2020): lost the IWGP Intercontinental Championship to Naito
Power Struggle, November 2020: defeated Ibushi for the right to challenge for the IWGP Heavyweight & Intercontinental Championships
Wrestle Kingdom 15 (2021): lost to Ibushi for the IWGP Heavyweight & Intercontinental Championships
Dominion, June 2022: defeated Okada for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship
Wrestle Kingdom 17 (2023): lost the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship to Okada

NJPW Sakura Genesis 2021
Kota Ibushi (c) vs. Will Ospreay for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship -- This was a good (not great) match that was totally ruined by the outcome. The match was slow to begin with, but it picked up. I HATE Ospreay kicking out after two consecutive kamigoyes, and I couldn’t possibly be more annoyed by Ospreay winning. I cannot fathom more uninspired booking than Ospreay winning the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship under any circumstances, but especially after Ibushi has held the championship for only three months. All this nonsense about unifying the Intercontinental and Heavyweight titles, only for Ibushi, the first unified champion, to have not even one successful defense of the unified championship? Ridiculous. Winner: Will Ospreay 
Ospreay calling out Okada was a good thing, as I simply cannot wait to see Okada kick Will’s ass again. Loved seeing Shingo come out to interrupt, taking the mic from Okada’s hand and stating that he should get the first title shot, as he beat Okada in the NJ Cup. Shingo’s mannerisms and Okada’s silence were wonderful here. Love both of those guys. Either one of them can take that title ASAP, thanks. Preferably Shingo.
