In February 2017, Fale opened his own wrestling school, the Fale Dojo, in Auckland, New Zealand.

On April 9 at Sakura Genesis 2017, Fale attacked IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada and challenged him to a title match. The title match took place on May 3 at Wrestling Dontaku 2017 and saw Okada retain. During the summer, Fale took part in the 2017 G1 Climax, where he finished third in his block with a record of six wins and three losses, failing to advance to the finals. On August 11, Fale defeated Yuji Nagata in his former mentor's final G1 Climax match and afterwards bowed to him in a show of respect. On December 17, Fale, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa defeated Los Ingobernables de Japon (Bushi, Evil and Sanada) to become the new NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champions. They lost the title to Chaos (Beretta, Tomohiro Ishii and Toru Yano) in a five-team gauntlet match on January 4, 2018, at Wrestle Kingdom 12 in Tokyo Dome. The following day at New Year's Dash, they would regain the title from Chaos. Fale then competed in the 2018 New Japan Cup, where he was eliminated by Hiroshi Tanahashi in the second round.
