12 Early Predictions For Wrestle Kingdom 12
1. Omega Vs. Ibushi
Maybe. But maybe not.
Kenny Omega has plenty left to do in New Japan, and if he stay he will undoubtedly want two things: to become IWGP Heavyweight Champion, and to have the best talent in the wrestling world come to Japan to challenge him. Well, it just so happens that one of the best in the world wrestles in Japan from time to time. It also happens that this man and Kenny used to be quite close associates. It also happens that this man competes on the New Japan under-card masquerading as an anime character.
Both Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi have improved leaps and bounds since their days together in DDT, and the world needs to see them clash on the big stage. Could that stage be in WWE? Perhaps. But what better place than in the main event of Wrestle Kingdom 12?
Kenny could take the belt he has been so desperately been striving for, and Ibushi could make a run in the G1 Climax, setting the stage for their clash at the Tokyo Dome. Like Kenny did earlier in the month, Ibushi has proven his ability to step up when he's put in the spotlight (WK9 vs. Nakamura), and all of the emotion and intrigue surrounding WK11 could carry over a full year of wrestling culminating in the ultimate bout.
