Final Thoughts
While it isn't pleasing to know that Will Ospreay shall miss the Wrestle Kingdom show, his recovery would also mean that Hirooki Goto might not have a prominent spot on January 4th. It'll be just as odd to see Minoru Suzuki not be in a prominent match, especially with the year he has had.

Similarly, with the constant generating of heavyweight talent in New Japan, it's hard to have a featured spot for a lot of young rising stars. This holds especially true for both EVIL and Sanada who are constantly knocking on the main event doors. That they might have to settle for a tag team championship match, maybe even a NEVER six-man match (if they find a partner) is a sad truth.
Even then with the talent at its disposal and Gedo's unbelievable shrewd booking, Wrestle Kingdom 13 might just be another stellar event from the best wrestling company in the world today. More importantly, considering its strained positioning, this Wrestle Kingdom determines a lot for the future of the brand. It shall be an enviable treat to watch live, January 4th at the Tokyo Dome!
