Moxley is running with Chaos now? He's trying to avoid that Yano smoke.

Dude has gone from getting injections on live TV to teaming with the best worker of the past decade in the space of a year. shyt has to be a Top 5 wrestling glow up in recent memory

Chaos vs Inner Circle?

I want to say 'Yes' but this puts Yo He Trash, B on primetime TV...

Yo He Trash B vs Sammy Guevara

I think we got our Wrestle Kingdom 15 main event

Don't put that kind of evil on The Spanish God.

Sammy vs. a retuning Shota Umino in a 'protege vs protege' match, though...

i could see a scenario where sanada beats jay and challenges naito would be interesting ,but the most likely scenario its jay beating sanada and Kenta losing to naito

It’s either tag with Chaos or tag with a bunch of old guys or young lions.

I was watching Naito’s first few matches after he came back from Mexico but before he started LIJ and it felt weird to see him still tagging with retirees and lions.

Yano got Ws from Omega and Jon Moxley that they aint even wanna run back

I'm hopeful this is the year Sanada consistently shows some personality because when he does he's such a star, but more often than not he takes his stoicism to the extreme and comes off like a robot.
