Predicting all the 16 teams for NJPW: World Tag League 2018

#3 CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada and Jay White)

Over the years, Kazuchika Okada has mostly been tagging alongside CHAOS mid-carders in the World Tag League. However, this year is poised to be different and it is finally time for the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion to be paired up with an equally promising and fast-rising superstar in the form of 'Switchblade' Jay White.

Fresh off his first ever G1 Climax Tournament, Jay White has been on an absolute roll ever since he came back to New Japan Pro Wrestling from his excursion at Ring of Honor. White, who in his first ever Wrestle Kingdom event challenged for the IWGP Intercontinental Title, successfully managed to wrap championship gold around his waist by winning the IWGP US Title earlier in the year.

Now, by this point it is pretty much clear that Jay White is currently a part of CHAOS only for his own benefits, but how awesome would it be to witness him and Okada defy all the odds and finally start working like a team and ultimately win the 2018 World Tag League?

Surely this could very well benefit both Okada and White, as fans are currently in a very confused state of mind regarding what directions NJPW is currently headed towards with both the CHAOS frontrunners.
