#3 Tetsuya Naito vs Tama Tonga (Day 8)

Enter caption

This match could be very similar to a match later on in the tournament, Tetsuya Naito vs SANADA, but that match is being highlighted due to it being members of Los Ingobernables de Japon facing each other (much like EVIL vs SANADA from last year).

This match is a first time for both competitors and I reckon it will be an interesting fast competition, where they will be looking to outshine their opponent in every sequence. A big factor in this will be if Naito will remain Tranquillo, as he failed against Okada due to him reverting to being the Stardust Genius.

Another factor will be Tama Tongas attitude, as he seems to be a man unhinged, with almost nothing to lose. With Bullet Club civil war on his mind, we could see a chill man versus a man with nothing to lose as his loyalty is keeping him alive.

Prediction- Tetsuya Naito will pick the win. I am picking Naito in this as he had a losing streak through 2018, apart from an upset win over Minoru Suzuki. Naito is looking to gain some momentum, and with him being the biggest fan favourite in all of NJPW, it's hard to say he's going to be losing.
