Ranking NJPW's Wrestle Kingdom 11 Matches From Worst To Best

10. Juice Robinson Vs Cody

It was by no means the best match on the card but the debut of Cody (née Rhodes) in New Japan Pro Wrestling was everything it needed to be.

Taking on fellow underutilised former WWE employee Juice Robinson - who has come on leaps and bounds in NJPW over the past 12 months - Cody gave a good account of himself in showing what he could do to a new audience. Juice got in more offense than people perhaps expected but, in the end, it was the cocky grandson of a plumber who came out on top, in the most obvious result of the evening.

Ultimately this achieved its purpose of introducing new Bullet Club member Cody to the NJPW fans and gave him the insane claim of being the only man to appear at WrestleMania, Bound For Glory, Final Battle and Wrestle Kingdom within 12 months. An incredible achievement.
