Despite making the jump up to the heavyweight division two years ago, there are plenty of competitors that Will Ospreay hasn't faced as of yet. Juice Robinson is one of NJPW's most popular stars. He has experienced success in singles and tag team action. The former IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion has seen his stock rise in 2021.

Juice Robinson formed the FinJuice tag team with his fellow New Japan Dojo graduate David Finlay a few years back. The duo won the 2019 World Tag League and went on to win the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships. This year, they took their act on the road and defeated The Good Brothers to win the IMPACT World Tag Team Titles at Sacrifice 2021.

Juice Robinson defeated Hikuleo at NJPW Resurgence in the company's return to live events in front of fans. He could use this victory to stake claim to an opportunity at Will Ospreay for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. Despite coming to New Japan Pro Wrestling after an unsuccessful stint in WWE back in 2015, he has never got a shot at the top prize in the promotion.

Will Ospreay has become one of the biggest heels in NJPW and could find a perfect babyface foil in Juice Robinson. Ospreay could beat down Juice with his stiff strikes and focused body attack to set up for the Stormbreaker, which in turn could lead to a spirited comeback from Robinson. This could make for a simple story that gets the most out of both men and the crowd they perform in front of.
