My Take
Wheeler Yuta is exactly the kind of wrestler I love finding on a card: pure technical grappling with no wasted motion. Getting plucked from the indies to join the Blackpool Combat Club alongside Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli was a huge vote of confidence, and his ROH Pure Championship run leaned right into his strengths. He's still young and clearly soaking up everything from his stablemates. I think the ceiling here is high if AEW gives him room, because guys who can actually wrestle this well at this age don't come around often.
