This is a 91 match tournament. You have a 2 leagues of 45 matches each, with each wrestler having 9. Predicting individual match outcomes at this point is both impossible and pointless.

The only real things to predict are who will top the leaderboard of each group, and who win win the final. Go!

>>2892370
It's not pointless, individual wins build up later programs.

Naito vs Kenny with Naito going over. I'm pretty sure they're going with Naito v Okada at the Dome.

I'd dig Okada v Nagata as the finals. Okada wins, gets to pick his challenger, and Naito fucks with Okada until he's the challenger. But NJPW booking is usually pretty simple.

Devastating finishing move

>>2892378
Kota literally already lost to Naito, sad!

>>2892737
I have Kota winning in the end. Tana and Naito are having match on the last night of G1.
I am having Tana win and stopping Naito from finals.
I am seeing Kota and Suzuki in finals and Kota winning and after that loosing the briefcase in match with Omega in semi-main of King of ProWrestling. And Omega going for the HW belt at Dome. Omega loosing US belt at one of the Destruction shows or just during the build to Dome.

Omega winning at the Dome and Kota challenging him at New Years Dash.
--------------------------------------
That's of course all dependent on Kota's willingness to commit to schedule and not being free spirit, just because of Kenny. Their last match should be a grudge match at Dome '18. No need for a belt. Or maybe a US belt to elevate it more.

>>2892380
Nagata won't have more then 4 points. They are not booking their old guys as strong as WWE. Father Time takes his toll.
You can have Nagata score some important wins, but not going to finals.

>Thinking Okada is dropping the belt to Omega

I have some bad news for you, Amigo!

>>2892788
Either Naito or Kenny. Both transitional champs to be honest.
Okada is dropping it to someone who will be new Ace - SANADA maybe? There will be 1-3 years worth of stories between Kota, Kenny, Naito and Okada. If Kota will stay of course. And after that there will be long program between Okada and new Ace.

And Naito doesn't need a belt. He will be winning, maybe even next Dome. That is also posibility.

But to be honest Okada's character WANTS to really beat Kenny at Dome next. He needs to prove he is better and because we all think Kenny is beating Okada or drawing with him during their match at G1 with him not being able to get pin (opposite of their match at Dominion) so Okada WANTS to beat him.

IF Okada faces Kenny at the Dome, who does Naito face?


Ibushi?

>>2892825
The guy with US belt. Or guy who took Tana's belt from him during the fall. That's probably ZSJ.

>Okada is dropping it to someone who will be new Ace
Okada is going to be Ace for many years yet. He's only 29. Naito and Kenny are the only guys he could drop it to that are ready. Ishii and Goto are also good enough, but they're never going to get the strap. Tana can too but he's really just a backup-backup guy now.

SANADA is not sniffing the big belt before he even comes to sniffing the IC belt. And ZSJ has a better claim for it right now.
