[Comrade Khan]

there fixed

 

[Chris]

So many infuriating possible outcomes for round 1 lmao

 

[Chris]

I'm Not sure I see them wanting to do Sanada/Okada in the semis so I can see an upset there (hopefully from Zack). Naito is a lock and sadly Finlay/Ospreay is a toss up lmao

Gedo: You sweet summer child, I'm doing Naito Okada in the finals again and you can't stop me

 

[Chris]

No way Evil is calling himself Mr. G1

 

[Chris]

I think Sanada losing in the finals would also be weird bc you'd think they wanna set up a pre-WK challenger by beating him and letting him get his win back, and if he loses in the finals then you're basically doing the WK match there unless Sanada just drops before

 

[Chris]

So we're basically looking at Evil, Zack or Okada beating Sanada and if Okada does idk if Sanada will beat him again in a rematch I could actually see Okada beating Sanada, losing in the finals, but then winning the belt from Sanada and taking it into WK against whoever beat him to try and get that win back

 

[Comrade Khan]

they kind of painted themselves in a weird corner with Will too - he just beat two legends and now its expected for us to believe he will somehow lose to anyone else but Okada.

Id personally think THAT should be the final, but I think it's gonna be Naito + with Naito going over. they seem pretty intent on doing this storyline for Sanada

 

[Chris]

Kevin said he asked Kaito if they could trade House of Torture to Noah for him

Yeah I think Ospreay beats Finlay and loses to Naito. They had their first match recently, I think Ospreay won. If not too I'd be kinda eh on Naito getting the two in a row on him
