Yuya Uemura
NJPW

Uemura and fellow newcomer Yota Tsuji are currently in the midst of an exciting Young Lion rivalry on par with the Jay White vs. David Finlay/Yohei Komatsu vs. Sho Tanaka bouts that graced NJPW undercards a few years ago. His future looks bright.

Prediction: Tagging with Tsuji, several reigns down.
