6 Reasons Why You Must Watch Wrestle Kingdom 13

#1 Kota Ibushi vs Will Ospreay (for the NEVER Openweight Championship)

Kota Ibushi defends his NEVER Openweight Championship against 'The Aerial Assassin' Will Ospreay

Two of the best wrestlers in the world start the event (which is a slight let-down, as this match deserves to have been higher up the card) fighting it out for the NEVER Openweight Championship. The current champion, Kota Ibushi, is one of the best high flying hard strikers in the world and has already had been featured in several 'match of the year' bouts this year. His opponent ‘The Aerial Assassin’ Will Ospreay is the world’s best high-flying superstar outside of the WWE, and has built a name as a decent grappler in the ring as well.

Any match between the two is sure to electrify audiences. However, the NEVER Openweight title has been known for hard-hitting, no-selling matches and that just adds another exciting angle to this bout. This match without a doubt, holds the potential to steal the show and while it is the first on the match-card, holds every possibility to becoming a solid match of the year contender.
