Wrestle Kingdom 14: Night 1 Predictions

A Thin Tag Team Division

NJPW needs to rethink its tag team division for the New Year

For the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships: Guerillas of Destiny (Tanga Loa and Tama Tonga) (c) vs. FinJuice (Juice Robinson and David Finlay)

With the NJPW tag team ranks severely depleted, the World Tag League pulled a miracle with FinJuice breaking the two-year streak of EVIL and Sanada. It allows some fresh blood in the tag ranks to contest the dominant runs of Guerillas of Destiny. This, however, doesn't seem destined for long with Finlay needed back in ROH and Juice looking at better things on night two.

While this might seem like the perfect opportunity to hotshot Juice and tease the fact that he could also end Wrestle Kingdom as a double champion, it is far more likely a way to pump both the Japanese and foreign crowds that love the ever-improving performer. With the Guerillas often bringing it on the big stage and a feisty 'FinJuice,' this one has the chance to steal night one's underwhelming undercard.

For Guerillas, this is the perfect chance to put a stamp of dominance of New Japan's tag ranks and demand fresh blood from elsewhere. A huge win at the dome has alluded the Tongan brothers from Bullet Club and this one is it. A hard-hitting battle from the babyface duo and Juice Robinson's eventual struggle will still result in a huge victory for the Guerillas of Destiny.

Result: Guerillas of Destiny hit the kill shot on David Finlay to win and retain the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship
