3 Juniors That Will Soon Transition to Heavyweight in NJPW

Every Junior has to one day become a Senior!

#2. Marty Scurll

Documented perfectly amidst the Bullet Club civil war this past year, has been Young Bucks' transition into the heavyweights. It's placed a lot of pressure on Scurll, especially from the likes of Cody. Marty is just not good enough, is a running theme of Being the ELITE. He proved his mettle somewhat at ALL IN (despite a tense elongated outcome).

This will definitely need to play up in the coming months, for Scurll to take that final leap and join his boys in the ELITE club of heavyweights. This way wherever the sextet makes a transition to next, they'll be lapped up together rather than see poor Scurll go to 205 Live. It'll also vindicate Marty, allowing him even to fight for a rematch against Okada, who's had a vested interest in this angle.

Hopefully, the ELITE doesn't head to WWE, allowing Marty to hone his skills as part of the heavyweights of the Bullet Club. While it's doubtful he could make a huge impact in a packed roster, it could allow Marty the chance to become another and far more vital world traveled element of the Club. Maybe Marty gets to dominate as a British heavyweight champion of the ELITE.
