10 HUGE NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 13 Predictions You Need To Know

10. NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship Gauntlet

RIP first of all to the New Japan Rumble. A grand spectacle played almost entirely for laughs and occasional mid-range boy-pops, the "Rambo" will me a much-missed element of the Wrestle Kingdom 13 pre-show, but NJPW have at least furnished this curtain-raiser with numerous high profile names all the same.

The NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championships are the least prestigious prizes available to the roster, but a Number One Contender spot for them here has at least opened up the Tokyo Dome for most of the remaining roster members without the Royal Rumble-lite. Hirooki Goto, Chuckie T, Beretta, Ryuske Taguchi, Toru Yano, Togi Makabe, David Finlay, Jeff Cob, Yuji Nagata, Marty Scurll, Yujiro Takahashi, Hangman Page, Davey Boy Smith Jr, Lance Archer and Minoru Suzuki will all form three-man groups in the contest, and it's the latter pairs that probably warrant the most mention.

The Elite will still be riding high from a memorable 2018, but Wrestle Kingdom 13 may not be their night with their own company's potential formation perhaps taking precedence on NJPW's biggest night. That frees up a path to victory for Suzuki-gun, as if they even needed anybody to step aside.

The unit have a not-so-secret weapon in the form of leader Suzuki, and he's a weapon that can f*cking kill men as soon as he'd look at them - assuming they didn't die of fright from his terrifying stare.

Winners - Suzuki-gun
