Los Ingobernables de Japon
Los Ingobernables have the most to gain and lose at Wrestle Kingdom. The stable has members in championship matches scattered through the card. Evil and Sanada have a shot at the IWGP Tag Titles, Takahashi will challenge for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title and lastly Naito for the IWGP Heavyweight Title.
The lights will be shining the most on LIJ as this could be a major statement by the group. Whereas the Bullet Club is insanely popular in America and Japan, LIJ is rapidly creeping up on them. The group has been growing their fan base greatly in a short time as the members continue to climb the ranks.
On a night where the stable can walk away with three major championships it feels as if we’re going to see a changing of the guard. NJPW under the rule of LIJ could usher in a new era for New Japan. Winning their championship matches will also solidify Los Ingobernables as a true rival to The Bullet Club.

With the lights of the Toky Dome shining bright and the world watching, the pressure will be immense. With so many striving to be the best in the world, it’s safe to say Wrestle Kingdom will be filled with great matches. Will Los Ingobernables supplant the Bullet Club as the dominant force in New Japan? Can Omega outlast and earn the respect of Jericho? Will Okada continue to be one of the most dominant champions in wrestling history?
