10 Reasons To Be Excited About Wrestle Kingdom 11

8. 12-Man Mayhem

Wrestle Kingdom 11
NJPW

Speaking of NJPW's tribes, this match will feature a trio of representatives from Chaos, The Bullet Club, and LIJ all vying for the NEVER Openweight Tag Titles currently held by Ricochet, Kojima, and David Finlay. Though the promotion often refrains from matches with more than two adversarial parties, Wrestle Kingdom is no stranger to the multi-man matches, as just like with WrestleMania the company want to display as much of their talent as possible during their biggest event of the year.

This match will apparently have some form of gauntlet-style rules, and with the names involved there are a whole host of possibilities of where to go with it. Ospreay and Ricochet will be sharing a New Japan ring once again, Naito's incredibly talented stablemates are favourites to win, and Tomohiro Ishii, who really should be in a featured match, will undoubtedly make his displeasure heard with audible chops and headbutts.
