The redemption of Robinson?

For the IWGP United States Championship: Lance Archer (c) vs. Juice Robinson
Despite the hefty star power of Jon Moxley, the NJPW US title scene needs strong stability in its ranks. For the past few years since its introduction, the belt has hopped around but been in constant orbit of Robinson. It is his baby in many ways and defines his position in the company.
Yet Juice's redemption (now for the second time in a year) requires a bit of rethinking and reinvention, beyond a simple haircut. Lance Archer is the perfect monster Gaijin to hitch NJPW's bandwagon on, for a lengthy fruitful reign and rivalry with Juice. Having the babyface chase the title for a prolonged period will create a better narrative and bring some prestige back onto the title, once the co-main event of Wrestle Kingdom 12.
Similarily it will pay off the goodwill turn by Archer in the past year and give Suzuki Gun a strong foothold if their king is truly leaving the roost. A hard-fought but an aided win for Archer on night one and dominance on night two will make him this star. Meanwhile, an empty-handed Juice Robinson by night two will have to question his abilities, furthering his newfound edge.
Result: Lance Archer beats Juice Robinson as everybody is beaten to win and retain the IWGP United States Championship
