10 Wrestlers Neville Must Face After Leaving WWE
7. KUSHIDA
Neville would be a perfect fit among New Japan Pro Wrestling's current crop of junior heavyweights. The division hasn't always been treated with the greatest respect, but the group's upper tier is extremely talented. Their title bouts have highlighted many an NJPW card this year, and KUSHIDA, the division's former ace, has played a starring role in many of the strongest bouts.
KUSHIDA is one of the most well-rounded (and perhaps underrated) wrestlers on the planet. Working a realistic, MMA-style moveset, he's a natural babyface who doesn't need to play the underdog to draw crowd support, and his big matches always deliver. This year's Pro Wrestling World Cup winner is a five-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, and while his best offerings are a level or two below Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada's six-star series, his bouts with the likes of Will Ospreay, Hiromu Takahashi, and Ryusuke Taguchi mark KUSHIDA as a world class talent.
Neville is more prone to high-flying than KUSHIDA, but their styles would mesh perfectly. Having only moonlighted for the company in the past, a big NJPW run should be high on the Englishman's to-do list, and KUSHIDA could be one of the first wrestlers he faces.
