Even then though...why keep going to the well of multi-man matches.
I feel like Omega vs Yuta in a singles match would have been great after Yuta got the pin on Omega in the PPV match.
Could have led to the same story with interference from the Elite and BCC if you wanted to, but would have felt fresh and made sense after making a big deal that it was Yuta that got the pin on Kenny.
(Also I never liked the BCC name and makes even less sense now with Regal betraying them, and could have easily had them change it after the betrayal)

MJF (c) vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi
...unreal card so far; although personally I'd rather have Sanada facing off against a bigger name for the IWGP Heavyweight Title other than Jungle Boy. Also, I'm hoping Naito and Takagi can both get on this card if possible as well.

The card does look like it will be great.
Agree that Jungle Boy feels like a weird choice in that spot, although if the goal is to make Sanada and the IWGP champ look strong then I think it's easy for him to go over Jungle Boy clean without it hurting Jungle Boy too much.
Will be interesting to see how they fill the card this week though. Bishamon vs FTR maybe...considering it was Bishamon that beat FTR for the NJPW titles, so easy storyline there.
