10 Major Predictions For NJPW Dominion 2018
10. It Will Be Incredible
The safest prediction of a card boasting endless intrigue, Dominion feels special even by the stupendous standards of New Japan's Golden Age.
There is scope for Kazuchika Okada and Kenny Omega to pick up countless absorbing narrative threads from their genius 2017 trilogy in their 2 Out Of 3 Falls, No Time Limit main event for the IWGP Heavyweight Title - just one of which is the effectiveness of Omega's One-Winged Angel. Built as the most devastating threat to Okada's legacy, when it was finally detonated clean in the middle at the G1 Climax B Block final last year, Okada suffered an ultra-rare loss in the big match arena. If he kicks out of it on Saturday, with Omega already 1-0 up, the roof will blow off Osaka-jō Hall.
There is, literally, no limit to the potential brilliance of the main event.
Chris Jericho enters Osaka with another point to prove. Why can't he steal the show? He stole Wrestle Kingdom away from both the best wrestler in the world and the biggest star in the country. Will Ospreay and Hiromu Takahashi will steal years from their own lives in their pursuit of this shared goal.
Osaka, known accurately as the Chicago of Japan, will bring the noise.
Match quality will be brought by this unreal roster.
As for the match results...
