No way my homie Shooter wins it over Mox here but we might be in for a classic like he had with Ospreay. The Rematch though if Moxley keeps it longer or it goes back to Naito will put me a frenzy when he does win it.

Imagine the cursed timeline where Narita beats Mox

Man if that to were to happen it would a Nuclear explosion on Twitter with chaos if that were to happen. I would lose it myself and seeing how New Japan has booked lately it could very well happen.

I'm actually shocked how much Naito is coming over here, I'd say he must love the reactions but he gets the biggest in Japan too

It's on a long list lol. Added two matches from Raw too when I get a chance since we didn't get Lyra vs Asuka sadly
