5 things that need to happen at Wrestle Kingdom 12

4. The Brits need to perform like Vince McMahon is watching

Their time is now.

The WWE might have finally opened itself up to the British wrestling scene in 2016/17 with the creation of the WWE United Kingdom Championship and a planned corresponding WWE Network special on the horizon. But it has undoubtedly been NJPW who have truly given the Brits a platform to showcase their skills to the rest of the world.

At present, almost every major NJPW faction contains a British wrestler. Will Ospreay has been a signature part of the Chaos faction ever since Okada invited him to become a member back in 2016.

The Bullet Club acquired the services of 'The Villain' Marty Scurll last year at an ROH show, and Suzuki Gun are represented by the submission specialist Zack Saber Jr. Los Ingobernables are yet to recruit a Brit, but with Neville's status still very much in the air, maybe this is something worth thinking about?

As for Wrestle Kingdom 12, Ospreay, Scurll and Saber Jr. could potentially experience a life changing evening. They will likely have more eyeballs on them than in any previous time in their career, so a good night on Thursday could mean huge paycheck promises come Friday.

And while all three seem pretty comfortable with their roles over in Japan and on the ROH scene, there's no doubt the WWE will be on their minds at some point in the near future.

With the high possibility of Vince or Triple H tuning into WK12, this undeniably is their best opportunity to show what they can do.
