What a time to be a wrestling fan, like holy hell this is just great.

Very soon for hikuleo to be getting a match on this stage IMO. Seen some people say maybe Archer is just transitional so they can get it back to someone in NJPW and I hope that this isn't the case here

I do like Hikuleo tho, he's just still a bit green and im interested in how he works with a coked out maniac as compared to someone like Fred Rosser

Last time I watched Hikuleo wrestle he was the drizzling shits so I was surprised reading the results that they treated him as some show-ending star

Fred Rosser helped him a lot IMO but Archer def gonna have to carry. They'll probably play up him being in Bullet Club a lot too to help

Hikuleo

I haven't seen the Match with Moxley and Archer yet but that is steps below when it comes to challengers for real. Maybe they somehow get the title back on Jay White somehow down the road.

I think its just a foot in the door for BC. ARCHER gonna wreck him though

So, with people thinking Archer only won, so he can lose to Hikuleo to get the title back in NJPW… is there a reason why Mox couldnt lost to Hikuleo?

Well I don't think this is true for one but if it is....well Hikuleo ain't that great and should not be beating someone on the caliber of Moxley at all and I woulda vetoed that if I was Tony Khan for sure

I don't think he should beat Archer either but it would at least be more acceptable with how he's viewed in the company

Okay makes more sense now then. Because I was thinking it’s normally a face heel deal, but I’m going to be honest. I’m not sure what Archer is at this point. Some weeks for awhile he seemed as if he was being good, but I ain’t sure, and I’m sure being Bullet Club that Hikuleo is heel. But this makes sense as to why.

But for that same reason, Archer losing to Hikuleo would have to have some crazy fuckery if Hikuleo goes over. So I personally don't buy the one week transitional champ theory anyway but we'll see soon enough anyway
