Anyone planning on checking out Wrestle Kingdom 10 next Monday? Should be a really good show, the card looks better on paper than last years which was one of the best shows I've ever seen. AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura for the IC title could be absolutely incredible.

No one? 8am GMT tomorrow, English commentary from Matt Striker, Kevin Kelly and Yoshitatsu if that's your bag.

IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship: reDRagon vs Young Bucks vs Roppongi Vice vs Matt Sydal and Ricochet (I'm not actually sure who's going in as champions, I think Roppongi Vice but these matches always see a title change)

NEVER 6 man championship: Toru Yano and the Briscoe Brothers vs Bullet Club (Yujiro, Fale and Tama Tonga) crowning the inaugral champion

ROH Championship: Jay Lethal (c) vs Michael Elgin

IWGP Jr Heavyweight Championship: Kenny Omega (c) vs KUSHIDA and KUSHIDA has promised a special guest to offset the Bullet Club, which I suspect will actually end up being Yoshitatsu himself.

IWGP Heavyweight Tag Titles: Gun and Gallows (c) vs GBH (Togi Makabe and Tomoaki Honma) in some bizarre way I'm hoping that Machine Gun is the lone winner in this match, although with him seeming Florida bound I doubt that will happen

Hirooki Goto vs LOS INGOBERNABLES Tetsuya Naito

NEVER Championship: Tomohiro Ishii (c) vs Katsuyori Shibata (I've loved these two's matches against each other in the past, this one in particular)



IWGP Intercontinental Championship: Shinsuke Nakamura (c) vs AJ Styles

IWGP Heavyweight Championship: Kazuchika Okada (c) vs Hiroshi Tanahashi)

Man i completely spaced this like a chump. Any chance you can pm me a download link?
 
If you see the Battle Royal then the bit after will no doubt entertain the kid. Thought I was tripping when that was going on.

Very good show, not as good as last year IMO as the undercard didn't deliver as much, also lacked that Nakamura vs Ibushi all time classic, even if Shibata vs Ishii and Naka vs AJ were fantastic.

Main event did nothing at all for me, Tana vs Okada matches remind me of a showflat, technically great, occasionally impressive but completely lacking in any soul. Oh well, plenty of people loved it.

Disagree, main event for me was MOTN. Shibata/Ishii in second place and then AJ/Nakamura just behind them. Didn't see the majority of the undercard as only tuned in halfway through.

That's fine, personal preferences and all that.

It's interesting to see what comes next, you'd assume Goto faces Okada, but who for Shinsuke? Where does AJ go? What happens with the Bullet Club with the leader(s) positions rather tenuous.

NXT?

Anderson is a cert to NXT, Tama Tonga seemingly too. Possible Gallows follows but I haven't heard his name anywhere. Not sure who else Bullet Club wise is off.

AJ Styles has handed in notice, but no more news on him. If he wants a steady wage and more time off NXT would be a great move given his recent injuries. He shares an agent with Joe so there's obviously a rapport with the company there.

Nakamura, well that's come from left field a bit. Network launches in Japan tomorrow so it's possible they want him as the face of it (kick in the teeth for Itami if so). I'd guess he's NXT bound as there's nothing else for him really, a bit like AJ it's a lighter schedule for better money.

Could be a packed roster. Although they do keep talking about how they are trying to expand it as its own brand. Think we will see a very different looking NXT by this time next year.

Last plan I had heard of (about 3 month ago so probably wayyyyy out of date) was for 2 rosters, one constantly touring like Raw/Smackdown and another just doing the current Florida loop which would actually be run by the EVOLVE folks and would be pretty much entirely rookies. Not sure on how it'd work with TV or even movement between the two mind.

TV can be manipulated I suppose, have the best of both rosters. Who knows, but I'm excited at the prospect.
 
Looks like WWE is making some sort of trend with Factions.

Heath Slater, Curtis Axel, Adam Rose, and Bo Dallas all came out together. The most irrelevant wrestlers in the nation.
 
It's hard to cheer Roman when he is beating up an old man. At least when Austin was doing it Vince could still move well.

I was desperate for HHH's music to hit during that segment.

The title being on the line in the rumble is interesting though.

Confirmation from where?

Some guy called WadeMeltzer posted it on wreddit about 12 hours ago. Think he has some inside knowledge, as he broke TNA cancelling India tour and cheeseburger in the Wrestle Kingdom rumble.

AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura are WWE bound. Styles will debut for WWE at The Royal Rumble. Nakamura will finish up commitments for NJPW and drop the IC Title and debut shortly in NXT or WWE.

There was another couple of guys finishing up in New Japan last night that will debut in the states, but havent gotten official word.

There have been rumors of Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows negotiating with NXT and TNA recently. I was told they are done in Japan as well.

Since then Meltzer and Vinny reported it last night on WOL, and it's been picked up everywhere since.

No official announcements though, although it's probably 95% true if WOL picked it up. For what it's worth Styles and Nakamura have been rumored for WWE for a whilst. There has always been slight murmurs of WWE looking to reform the Bullet Club in WWE.

*edit* This was posted...

I thought the odds on Reigns winning the Rumble will plummet after the title stipulation, but you can still get 4/1 on him at Paddy Power. Decent bet I think. He's a cert to be in the last 2.
