The Recount: The history of the IWGP US title

[@jesusmosqueda991]

The Belt looks so clean and innocent

[@PLUX4]

Just wait till Naito destroys the belt lol.

PLUX4 He doesn't have anything against the IWGP United States Championship.

Jesus Mosqueda Because it's brand new.

[@mx10380]

PLUX4 He doesn’t have anything against it...It was only the Intercontinental Championship because it took his chance to get the World heavyweight title from him.

Everybody is wondering who will be the 1st japanese winning the IWGP US Championship?

maybe ishii since he beat Juice at the G1. That is if Juice is still champion by the time if he decides he wants to go for the belt

My money's on Kota Ibushi.

cody will be next champ

[@vipset87]

Juice-S-A! Haha thats awewome. Seriously its well deserved that he holds a strap to represent NJPW. Hope he has many more successful defenses. The man is very entertaining. He puts on an exciting and FUN performance in the ring and especially on the "mic." Although cody is one of my absolute fav performers, i hope he doesnt prevail against juice. Its awesome to see juice progress and succeed by every passing match. Hes put in a lot of work and i truly feel he deserves this strap

[@spiritofbotan1]

Juice >>>> Wwe's Nakamura

[@GabrielPerez-sq7vk]

The Spirit of Botan at least Nakamura doesn’t lose all his matches like Juice does... and won the US title in seconds... Juice got lucky... but it won’t happen in his match with Cody

[@bassican7]

It’s too sweet how they teased the Bad Boy here 🤘🏼😈 Ahhh man now that Switchblade is in a whole different level it be really great for him to get it again. People said his reign sucked when I though it was pretty decent. That match against Kenny, Hangman was decent. He destroyed Hangman with his promo game. Juicy boy was also a great match. Oh and can’t forget when he defended it against Punishment Martinez. So hopefully he gets back into a title picture soon as well

As an Omega fan, I can't believe I never noticed how he telegraphs the plunge into the sit out to his opponent by tapping them on the head so they can prepare. Or maybe that was only for Jericho since he would have been unfamiliar with taking it.
