CHAOS (Gedo, Will Ospreay, YOSHI-HASHI, Hirooki Goto, & Kazuchika Okada) vs. Los Ingobernables de Japon (BUSHI, Hiromu Takahashi, Tetsuya Naito, EVIL, & SANADA)

Naito and Okada will be facing off against each other in this one, which will be incredibly interesting. LIJ vs. CHAOS is always interesting and seeing the two top factions in NJPW fight for supremacy shall be quite fun. I always like when we see all of LIJ teaming at the same time.

We might see some intrigue here setting up some future matches for Ospreay with BUSHI or Hiromu Takahashi. We could see Goto and YOSHI-HASHI try to advance up the tag division with a win over EVIL and SANADA. This will be a fun match with lots of big stars in it. On paper, it might look like filler, but it isn’t. The names in this match prevent it from being that. Watch this one closely to see how the stories advance.

The Young Bucks vs. Roppongi 3K w/ Rocky Romero – IWGP Jr. Tag Team Championship

The rematch between The Young Bucks and Roppongi 3K is going to be a very fast paced, fantastic match. At Wrestle Kingdom 12, the Young Bucks managed to become the 7-time IWGP Jr. Tag Team Champions, defeating the up and coming team, Roppongi 3K. NJPW is probably looking to establish Roppongi 3K as the cornerstone of their Jr. Tag division, so it’s entirely possible that they will win the titles back here.

Given how recently the Bucks won the titles, I’m not sure the switch will be happening here, but we shall see. I think the best call is to have the Bucks hold onto the them until the Long Beach show in March and have them lose it after that heading into The Best of the Super Juniors. Regardless, this one is going to be an outstand match as we have one of the best tag teams in the world, and one of the best up and coming teams too. This is going to be a fun one.
