Considered as 'The Ace of The Junior Heavyweights', former five-time IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion Kushida has pretty much-accomplished everything in NJPW's 220-pound division and a potential dream match against the legendary Rey Mysterio is certainly going to solidify the 35-year-old's legacy in the Jr. Heavyweight Division as well.

Despite both Kushida and Mysterio being Jr. Heavyweights, both men have very unusual in-ring styles and approach, with the former being much more of a Technical Wrestler, whereas, Mysterio likes to execute more of a jaw-dropping and high-flying stints inside the squared circle.

A match between the two men promises an interesting encounter at NJPW’s second biggest show of the year could do wonders and in addition, there have also been talks of Kushida potentially moving one up to the Heavyweight Division, so maybe this could turn out to be the perfect farewell from the Junior Heavyweight for ‘The Time Splitter’?
