BOSJ Final result

[Stopspot]

Prince Devitt made history in the 20th Best of the Super Jr. with complete victory while reigning as IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion. Only Jushin Thunder Liger in 2001 has ever won the tournament unbeaten but he had four less matches and wasn’t the title holder. Devitt stormed through the group stage with ease ahead of today’s semi finals which saw a major twist before they even began. Ryusuke Taguchi, who had worked so hard after a poor BOSJ start to reach the semis, had to pull out because of injury. Taguchi had sought revenge over his betrayer Devitt but that will have to wait as TAKA stepped in as his replacement and fell to the popular Alex Shelley. Devitt defeated Kenny Omega in the other semi, setting up an all-foreigner final.

The final was quite chaotic for a time with seconds interfering and fighting each other. “All of Korakuen is the enemy of Devitt” said one fan, the Bullet Club leader having quickly become one of the most hated figures in New Japan since betraying Taguchi and the fans. And there was to be no happy ending for the fans as Devitt dropped Shelley with the Bloody Sunday to win his second Best of the Super Jr. tournament – seemingly the invincible figure of New Japan’s junior division.

This result is likely because Taguchi was injured. Might hurt the division since Devitt is gonna start wrestling the heavies.

Devitt winning is never a bad thing IMO, sets him up nicely. Didn't Shelley work with Ricochet at some point during these too? I recall seeing a thread somewhere with it.
