12 Early Predictions For Wrestle Kingdom 12

12. Another Former WWE Star Debuts

Cody Rhodes' debut as 'The American Nightmare' was seen as a relatively tame introduction for the former WWE star. He defeated Juice Robinson in a short match that had a tough time standing out on such a stacked card, though it did serve its purpose as it introduced Bullet Club's newest addition and got a great deal of WWE fans engaged with the show.

Should NJPW continue to thrive it will undoubtedly remain an enticing destination for wrestling's biggest free agents. Ryback and Wade Barrett both left the WWE in the past year and could bring a lot to the table, but we could also see more departures this year who could further bolster the Japanese company's burgeoning reputation in the West.
