Potential Wrestle Kingdom main event?

26 comments

1. i love that card design

2. Looks legitimately done by NJPW. Cheers.

3. I’d hope so

4. I’m kinda done with the Sanadas title reign.
   He hasn’t been bad or anything but he didn’t set the world on fire either. He is also losing a lot of steam with the crowd since he won the belt.

   I would put the title on someone else after the G1.

5. Yes

6. I mean, basically everybody has been saying this for a month.

7. It’s gonna be EVIL vs SANADA

   Why else would they release a “EVIL is the REAL IWGP WHC” T-Shirt?

   Long term booking by Mr “Bloody Hands” as usual.

8. Yeah I’d say this match is probably the favourite for wk main at the moment

9. Yes please.

10. Sanada and Naito going all out at a big event has potential to be a MOTY candidate

11. 1. I absolutely love this graphic. Very well done. If I didn’t know better, I’d say it was an actual NJPW graphic.

    2. If the bet for Sanada’s opponent at WK is Naito, or not Naito, I would like to bet on “not Naito” please.

12. No way Sanada will be in the main at WK

13. It makes the most logical sense. Sanada as champion needs to face naito at the Dome where Naito wants to his moment on Jan 4.

14. It feels like there’s no other option – Naito chasing his Dome Roll Call feels like it can’t/shouldn’t wait another year (unless they feel like running Ospreay/Naito as a main event for WK19) and all the other viable challengers for SANADA aren’t as well built or exciting (Okada, Ospreay)

15. Hoping for & predicting a Naito vs Shingo final.

16. unfortunately yes.

17. It would be a great match, believable main event, but you’re going to have to fill up that undercard if you want to fill up the Tokyo Dome. Either that, or somehow SANADA has to kick it up a notch

18. I’m convinced this is the plan for Wrestle Kingdom.

19. I really want it to be Shingo, I’m not going to lie to you.

20. Okada (c) vs Danielson for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship

    Okada wins via Rainmaker (45:00)

21. Is SANADA keeping the title until WK?

22. Hopefully they go this direction Sanada deserves a Main event in the Dome

23. Batista: “GIVE ME WHAT I WANT!”

24. That was my prediction before NJC, but now I think it’ll depend on Sanada’s crowd reactions at G1.

25. I mean, they started recording the video package all the way from their try outs, so..

26. It makes plenty of sense. Obviously, there’s SANADA leaving LIJ and all the history with that, but they could also go the route of SANADA being pissed off that Naito was given the honour of retiring his mentor (Muto).

    SANADA has something Naito wants, but Naito has something that SANADA will never have.

    Also, the card design looks great, OP. You could have told me that it was the official design for WK and I wouldn’t have questioned it.
