Is everybody still assuming Ibushi as winner? I still think that Gran Metalik is the smarter business option. They need a top Hispanic guy and they can't usually book one well, and simply advancing Metalik in the tournament has eliminated a lot of the problems they usually have.
Ibushi is going to be valuable to the company, but they've got Nakamura for the Japanese audience, plus they'll also have Tajiri and Akira Tozawa around. If Metalik loses, I'm just afraid of him becoming "just another guy." Have him win the tournament and be announced as Cruiserweight Champion, tear through a few guys, then have him beat Sin Cara in a Mask vs. Mask Match. Hunico returns to the WWE and attacks Metalik, who insists on defending his title despite an injury, allowing someone like Drew Gulak to take the belt and hold it for a bit.
You've set up one babyface and two good heels with that alone.
