June 2018 brought rumours of a mask vs. mask feud with Dragon Lee. This didn't come to fruition, but Despy is currently in the midst of the longest Junior Heavyweight Tag Title run in NJPW history, and even notched a singles title shot earlier this year. The office clearly like him.

Prediction: Multi-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion.
