Whilst there is every chance that Matt and Nick Jackson could well hold onto the junior tag titles until January, the truth is that these titles change hands more than most in NJPW. The hot potatoes have moved around constantly over the last few years, with the Bucks currently in their sixth reign on top.

At night two of the G1 Special in USA, Ricochet announced that he (alongside Ryusuke Taguchi) was gunning for the titles. Let's go ahead and say that the Taguchi Japan duo will pick up the titles before the end of 2017, before putting them on the line against The Bucks inside the Tokyo Dome.

For one bonus prediction, let's say that Matt and Nick win the titles for a seventh time on 4 January, allowing Ricochet to finally sign a contract with WWE.
