For the Rev Pro British Heavyweight Championship: Zack Sabre Jr. (c) vs. Sanada

Zack Sabre's near-annual British Heavyweight championship match sees him defend the title this year against LiJ's Sanada. The Cold Skull is close to falling off the radar into Goto levels of irrelevancy, especially in his inability to put away Okada just yet. Yet here we are, with Sanada placed far better off than his Dome partner of two years; EVIL, and with a real shot to broaden his career in the United Kingdom.

With some easy chemistry between two opponents and a very technical mat clinic up for the toss, this is a variant the card will need. There is still high octane drama to have with Sabre in particular set to prove his mettle in singles competition. A back and forth contest will elevate the two duos, allowing Sabre to move onto New Years Dash as master of Suzuki Gun or Sabre Gun.

Meanwhile, Sanada's big win here could put him on the map, to finally become the next big explosive star that Gedo has failed to book just yet. Sanada's small championship rise is a perfect way to run the underccurent of LiJ members surpassing their leader, onto bigger things. For Sanada there is no bigger and this is definitely his time.

Result: Sanada wraps Zack in the Skull End to make him tap and win the match, becoming the NEW Rev Pro British Heavyweight Champion.
