Kula Shaker
Kula Shaker's reformation has its origins in sessions for a charity album made with the New Braj Village School (a private school in Badger, California, for young people which includes as part of the curriculum teachings about Krishna and devotional music). The album "School of Braja" was recorded in 2004 and finally saw release in late 2006. Crispian Mills, who masterminded the album, arranged not only that the Jeevas play on two tracks, but he also got in touch with his old bandmate, Alonza Bevan. The two worked on a song together for the album, "Braj Mandala", to which Paul Winterhart added drums. Jay Darlington was asked to be part of the sessions, but declined the opportunity. At the time of the recording, this was announced on the official Jeevas website as Kula Shaker having reformed to contribute a song to the album and was referred to by Mills as a Kula Shaker reunion in subsequent interviews. Additionally, the "School of Braja" album credits officially state that Kula Shaker appear on the track "Braj Mandala". The sessions for the track went so well that Mills and Bevan began writing together again and making plans for a full-on Kula Shaker comeback that would encompass live touring and the further release of new material. A new band website was also commissioned.
Chaos (professional wrestling)
On October 2, Will Ospreay tweeted about the current members of the faction, not mentioning the names of White and Gedo. This seemingly confirmed the departure of the duo from the group. On October 8, at King of Pro-Wrestling (2018), Jado, along with White, Gedo and members of Bullet Club OG, attacked Okada, turning heel and leaving Chaos. During the Road to Power Struggle tour, White teased in backstage interviews that there is still another member in Chaos being used as a spy for the Bullet Club. White has yet to reveal who the member is. 
At Road to Power Struggle, after Chaos lost to Bullet Club, Hiroshi Tanahashi came out to make the save for Kazuchika Okada and the two shook hands forming a union between the two. At Power Struggle (2018), Hirooki Goto regained the NEVER Openweight Title from Taichi and for the second year in a row Roppongi 3K won the Super Jr. Tag League. Two Chaos teams would compete in the World Tag League, Tomohiro Ishii and Toru Yano would end the tournament with 18 points, while Chuckie T. and Beretta would end the tournament with 14 points, however Chuckie T. would start showing viscous tendencies. Also over the tournament Okada would team up with Tanahashi to take on the Bullet Club, losing all their matches however. On the finals of the tournament, Ospreay would win a #1 Contender’s Match for the NEVER Title and in the following match Goto would lose the NEVER Title to Kota Ibushi. On the Wrestle Kingdom 13 pre-show, the Chaos and Taguchi Japan Team of Yano, Makabe, and Taguchi would win a 5-Team gauntlet #1 Contender’s Match for the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Titles. On the main card Ospreay would win the NEVER Title, Roppongi 3K would lose their IWGP Jr. Tag Title match to Shingo Takagi and Bushi, Ishii would lose the RPW Undisputed British Heavyweight Title to Zack Sabre Jr, and Okada would lose to Jay White.
