I don’t know if it’s just me but I still find the decision to put Douki in house of torture on his return a baffling choice.
His ascension last year to the top of the jr division was genuinely one of my favorite stories/ moments and I thought his run with the title was great. Obviously him getting injured at WK was unfortunate but I truly thought there could be a great redemption story for him when returning with trying to regain the title he never technically loss.
But now it feels like he’s been relegated to being Sho’s tag team partner and doesn’t feel nearly as important as he did just a year ago. While it is somewhat interesting seeing him go back to his Suzuki-gun ways it just feels like such a quick one eighty.
At this point I’m just hoping for a face turn down the line and him leaving because if he truly is stuck with them for the foreseeable future I feel it is a true fall from grace compared to where he was just a year ago.
