12 Early Predictions For Wrestle Kingdom 12

Speaking of the returning veteran, Suzuki has 'earned' an IWGP Heavyweight Title shot next month simply by laying the champion to waste at NYD. Some people are speculating that Suzuki will win to establish himself as the top heel in the company, and even if he doesn't take the belt at New Beginning a lot could happen over the course of the next year.

Whether he wins it or not, Suzuki and Naito can both expect to be in featured spots when next January rolls around. As we saw at the end of the G1 Climax, when two well-built villains clash it can create magic and these two faction leaders will undoubtedly cross paths at some stage. If it's held off until the Tokyo Dome, expect Suzuki and Naito to have a hellacious bout over either the Heavyweight or Intercontinental strap.
