My dirtsheet brehs are they really doing Punk and Kenta setup tomorrow on Dynamite? I seen Kenta take jabs, they drumming up interest?

Suddenly the broken ankle doesn’t seem too bad.

Broken ankle >>>>>> broken neck

This, plus if they are really going to do a Paige/Sasha you almost cost me my career angle it needs hella more build than for a Forbidden Door..

Not necessarily. Forbidden Door II is only available for order on NJPW World to Japanese users. So they'll make some money off that but not sure how much.

Also, I'm sure they do get a split of the gate and other PPV buys elsewhere but I haven't seen what the split is.

There's little to no money gained in those NJ World subscription, counting that as "New Japan are getting theirs" is not it

This is why IMO Omega retains. He's sounding like NJPW Omega here and probably going to lead towards Omega/Ospreay in Wembley.

When Mercedes showed up they gained 40,000-50,000 subs based just on that from fans outside of the U.S. But again, this PPV is only available on NJPW World for Japanese viewers.

If you live in the U.S. you still have to use Bleacher Report App or buy it on Fite through VPN.

I can easily seen them winning three of the top four. Sanada and MJF are obviously winning. Ospreay and Okada winning are not hard to see, but I think the US title match is the biggest 50/50 one here. Danielson seems to be in out over everyone else mode so wouldn’t surprise me if he takes the L.

But god could you imagine the meltdowns that would happen if they had Sanada drop the belt to Jungle Boy. That would be even worse than putting the belt on EVIL.

Hold on… nothing is worse than Evil being champion.

Jungle Boy being an invader gaijin champion has disaster written all over it though it would require JB to channel a charisma and fukkery based personality he hasn't shown yet in his career.

He would be better than David Finlay somehow

Was about to post this. New Japan doing a better job promoting this match than AEW

Gotta say, Ospreay's character work for this feud, specially since the press conference after WK, is top notch.

Sucks that Samoa Joe and more importantly Jay White will be left off the card when he was IWGP champ just 6 months ago

Sounds like KENTA is being a p*ssy and refusing to face CM Punk this weekend

I think we might get a last minute match at FD with them. Maybe Joe white juice vs OG BC ?

They've only announced 4 matches so far. Guessing at least 5-6 matches get added between Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision.

It would be hilarious if Punk's opponent at the PPV was the debuting SB Kento. Just to mess with KENTA.
