David Finlay is going to win and have a 2020 EVIL tier reign because Gedo hates us and NJPW needs a new top heel

That or Jack Perry

I could see TJP v Finlay over-performing/beating people's expectations.
I can also see it being on the dull side.

Agreed, i think he looks a lot better today too. Yesterday he kind of had the "american wrestler first day in japan and doesn't know he can lay in the chops" vibe, whereas today it seems he's figured it out.
