Ren Narita continues to stand tall and look strong ahead of his match with Jon Moxley.   It would make sense for Narita to win the World Title for the House of Torture, as the hot heel group.   The top babyface, either Shota Umino or Tetsuya Naito can chase the title from G1 Climax to Wrestle Kingdom.  Narita will have to look strong and a legitimate threat in the G1.
