Interested to see who people think will be the 5th members of each team? Personally hoping for Ibushi and Uno (maybe after a Jericho swerve)

Looking forward to this one - I get the sense some people have soured already on Kommander, but I'm always going to be a fan of my good ol' flippy boys.

I never followed Japan so don't know anything about Ibushi outside of the general history with Omega and bits and pieces I've read over the years, but people are excited to see him so if it's him I'm looking forward to seeing what he's about.

BCC could be anyone - obviously Jerhicho is in the mix since they had a promo last week, but it seems like they're going a different direction with a surprise. Honestly have no idea. I don't know if Ospreay is back in Japan now but I feel like if they're gunning for Omega/Ospeay at All-In, that could be a fun way to keep him in the mix.

Ibushi for Elite and Shota for BCC, maybe?

[–] ImADifferentBird@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think Ibushi is kind of a gimme. Kenny's been dropping hints about going to Japan and reconnecting with old friends like mad.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah my money's on Ibushi. O'Reilly is just me dreaming lol.

[–] serfraser@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Forgot about Shooter. Also would be fine with this tbf.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Shooter seems like the kind of guy who wants to bleed just as much as Mox does lol.

It won't happen (because he's still injured, AFAIK) but I'd love to see Kyle O'Reilly join the Elite team. Even though he and the Elite had heat, KOR could say Mox was the one that injured him and it's time he gets some payback.

At the end of the match, KOR turns on the Elite and joins BCC/The Callis Family. But before they completely destroy the Elite, Ibushi's music hits and he saves the day.

Uno as in Evil Uno? Sold! Anything else that gives the dark order more legitimacy is something I can get behind and I would love if the Elite Lost because they refuse to take Uno (and by extension the Dark Order) seriously.

[–] serfraser@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hell yeah! I'm gutted Bryan is injured but I do think adding Dark Order would be incredible for the story they've been telling, and Uno has bled with the BCC.

[–] ItsWizardTime@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yup! I started watching just as they started touring again and I've loved Silver and Reynolds... Uno always felt like their manager and then he finally wrestled. I remember the thread on the old site watching people change their mind over the course of the match from comments like

"OMG put a shirt on"

"This looks like low level Indy trash"

Etc .

To seeing Uno win over the crowd and the thread.

They've become intwined into the story and while they aren't the main players Dark Order has definitely been playing a role in the battle between the two factions.

Jericho for BCC & Colt for the Elite

[–] serfraser@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I'd be down for chaos with Colt.

[–] ImADifferentBird@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Colt did make a surprise appearance on BTE this week
