#4 Bullet Club's KENTA vs. AEW's PAC
KENTA joining the Bullet Club was one of the most shocking heel turns in NJPW. The former WWE Superstar was brought into New Japan Pro Wrestling by Shibata and entered the G1 Climax 29 in 2019. Despite starting off hot, he finished in the middle of the pack. His betrayal of Shibata and NJPW surprised many fans to say the least.
KENTA's run in WWE fell short of expectations. He was a part of the beginning stages of WWE NXT's. Then known as Hideo Itami, he was heralded as one of the best wrestlers in the world upon his signing. However, a multitude of injuries stopped his momentum.
PAC, formerly known as Neville, was also a part of this batch of talent with the likes of Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and Finn Balor. He gained significant success as NXT Champion and Cruiserweight Champion. His fallout with the company led to him sitting at home for close to a year before being released.
While KENTA has the Bullet Club by his side in NJPW, PAC is also a part of a major stable in Death Triangle.
This matchup is even. KENTA has an advantage in strikes and ruthlessness, while PAC holds the advantage of speed and athleticism. The involvement of their factions might be the difference in this confrontation.
KENTA will have many different options from the Bullet Club to be in his corner, but there might not be anyone that has the combination of skills of the Lucha Bros in PAC's corner. This makes for an intriguing encounter with each man looking to leave their past behind and show who the better man is.
