Considering the SANA / Goto match is as good as over, I may as well post my bracket here now.
My pick to win the entire thing lost in the opening round once again. If my complaint sounds familiar, it's because I come in here and post about it every year. I've been predicting the New Japan Cup since 2016, and only once has my predicted winner made it out of the first round, and that was in 2019 (I think), with the 32 man bracket.
I think being a huge Yuya mark blinded me to the facts this year. I will stand up for my Hikuleo over EVIL pick though, I thought that was an easy title defense setup. They love getting Hikuleo to challenge for midcard belts, he's like a 7 ft tall Kofi.
