Top 5 Potential Winners Of NJPW New Japan Cup (Right Bracket)

4. Hiromu Takahashi

One of the most unique parts about this year’s New Japan Cup is the diversity of the participants. In particular, viewers were excited to see a lot of Jr Heavyweights in the line-up, including fan favourite Hiromu Takahashi. Hiromu has always wanted to showcase the talents of the Jr division and how they’re on par with the heavyweights, and this tournament is another stage to do that.

When it comes to Hiromu’s offence, it is impossible to predict what he will bring to the ring. As erratic as he can be, Hiromu knows exactly what he’s doing in the ring and adapts it to each opponent. No matter whether he faces a Jr or Heavyweight, the Ticking Time Bomb will put in his all to get the win.

During his first New Japan Cup appearance in 2020, Hiromu shocked fans by beating Tomohiro Ishii and advancing to the second round. Could the Ticking Time Bomb do even better and make it all the way? With the dream of headlining the Tokyo Dome as Jr Heavyweight Champion, could Hiromu change his destiny and cement his status by earning an IWGP Heavyweight shot.
