Yano: 1/10
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ not this year, bud.
Michael Elgin: 2/10
I'm surprised in a sense that Big Mike still has a job in the company after his scandal but even if that wasn't a factor he's a long shot at best.
Juice Robinson: 4/10
Juice probably makes it to the Semi Finals as he continues to come into his own and become what if 90s Shawn Michaels went to EDC, but it's still to early for him to even make finals.
Kota Ibushi: 4/10
Even though he's done it once before, Ibushi seems pretty set with Golden Lovers. Doesn't need this win at all.
Bad Luck Fale: 5/10
One of these days Fale is going to win it, NJPW loves him too much to not, it's just a matter of when.
Zack Saber Jr.: 6/10
Bit of an upset against Naito. I think He'll make it to the Finals if he can make it past Sanada but I don't see him winning unless Gedo has something crazy planned.
SANADA: 8/10
It probably makes the most sense coming off of his really REALLY good match with Okada. Unlike Juice, SANADA seems like a rising star who's time to capitalize on is right now.
Hiroshi Tanahashi: 8.5/10
I could write in "TANAWINSLOL" but I think it would be a really cool story to tell having him face off against the Submission Expert and partner of Minoru Suzuki after losing his title to him in such a devastating fashion. Especially since ZSJ and Minoru keep coming out with their Progress tag titles to emphasize their connection. Tana survives ZSJ in the Finals and challenges Minoru for a rematch.
