Some things about Jr. tag league:

  • No Dragon Lee. It doesn't mean that NJPW is done with him, but at the very least it looks they are going to wait a bit till making their next move.
  • Nothing from RoH, I don't think that it means much because RoH is having their UK tour during this time and they probably need everyone they have for it.
  • No LiJ team, does it mean that Hiromu is actually not coming back or they simply don't want to put him into league straight after his return?
  • Sounds like the finals will have some variation of Birds of Prey/R3K/Bullet Club teams or a triple threat like last year.

Best thing to happen to/in NJPW all year by far (I would've said Shibata returning had he returned). That was emotional and awesome. He looks madder than before. ?

Edit: ooooh, Shibata got physically involved in the main event. Hmmmmmmmm.

You can do some interesting storytelling with the winner fatiguing from having to defend both belts and eventually slipping up due to that, kind of like what they did with Okada in 2017 at the tail end of his legendary title run. 

Who do they go with? Does Ibushi fail to beat Okada? Do they finally give Naito the super push with him getting the title he wants and the title that has defined so much of his career at the top for better or worse? Either of the Golden Boys get it?

It’s left field for them. What they do is push genres, messages and speak out. ‘The kids’ need bands that use their platforms and that’s why they are important right now.

But hey, getting off track; great show! Shibata’s surely doing a tag at wk right?
