NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 13: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

By Jack Pooley / January 4, 2019

10. IWGP United States Championship: Cody (c) Vs. Juice Robinson

Result: Juice kills Cody with two Pulp Frictions to win the title (9:03).

Rating: Most can surely agree that this was the most disappointing match of the night by far. Given that this was Juice's night to go over, it's surprising they gave him the belt in such a flat, workmanlike match.

The Brandi shenanigans were mildly amusing though ultimately detracted from the flow of the match, especially one running this short already.

Plus, is the narrative of Cody being unable to win without Brandi's help really one that's interesting or satisfying to anyone?

Cody came off like a chump and Juice prevailed without the sufficient adversity to make it feel fully earned. A nice moment for him, sure, but it could've been so much better. 5/10
