I’ve been thinking about how Lee will be booked when he inevitably returns as it’s an interesting scenario . I found him being put with the war dogs in the beginning an odd choice personally and with how much they have shifted since he got injured I can’t see him being kept with them. I could potentially see him being pushed up the card and leading a new faction similar to GLG in Noah.
As for him potentially winning the heavyweight championship one day I genuinely believe it was/is his ultimate goal and motivation for joining New Japan in the first place as I don’t see him leaving his top guy position in Noah just to be a Mid Card and or tag team guy.
Obviously the other biggest factor is that he is one title off from winning the big 3 in puro and he's also the closest to realistically doing it which is crazy to think about on it’s own.
