TL;DR: Dana has been harboring some resentment over the way the Bucks were treated after Brawl Out. While The Elite themselves have decided to let bygones be bygones, she was never that happy with the situation.

Morffi, OTOH, simply had a better offer elsewhere.

Tanahashi: I have several goals as president. First is to sellout the Tokyo Dome. That's been a goal for a while and I want our wrestlers to achieve that, as well as to give our fans that experience.
I want to have more title matches in markets outside of the norm. As a wrestler our goals years ago was to first get 500 in smaller towns, then 1000, then more. If we pack those markets, then a sold out Tokyo Dome is achievable.
I'd also like to improve our partnerships with more sponsors. As an active wrestler and president I'm in the position to do more than anyone in our business and in Japan. #njpw

Not in the tweet, but he also said:

I’m thinking about what I have left as an active wrestler. Through that time, the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship is still my top goal

For our international fans,

Today, I resigned from the roles as president of NJPW and NJPW of America, and, as you know, our "ACE" Tanahashi-san just took over my roles.

As he has fan's, wrestler’s, and management perspectives, there is no doubt that he will create the best NJPW ever.

I spent five years with NJPW, and as its president 3 years and two months. My management started from the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic, when cheering, the number of attendance, and many other key factors for both fans' and wrestlers' motivation were strictly restricted by the government. People out of Japan might not be able to imagine how despairing environment it was.

As our traditional business model collapsed quickly, I focused on prevention of COVID-19 and cost reductions first. To adapt to this changing external environment, I put all my efforts to modify the old system, to create new businesses, and to accelerate the globalization. Honestly, most of the time I had felt "pains of birth''.

However, whenever I went to the venues in Japan and overseas, I always received huge encouragement from our fans like you and wrestlers, which motivated me to do my best again. Through this cycle, which might be called "STRONG STYLE", we managed to recover our business to the level that almost hits the record high.

All the new president, Tanahashi-san, to do is to easily surpass the record and make a much brighter future of NJPW. I know everything is prepared.

Although I left NJPW and will leave Bushiroad quite soon, I would like to once again thank everyone at the press conference on December 26.

See you then!

Didn’t he stop by in ROH/AEW recently? I guess maybe that didn’t go well. I’ve heard lots of people say he has a good mind for backstage stuff.
