Oiwa and Kiyomiya had to postpone their GHC title shot due to Kiyomiya not being cleared to compete due to injury

How do I file a legal injunction to make them stop pushing House of Torture?

I do hope Tsuji wins it. He's the guy who'd benefit the most, but also, literally all three of the others have won it, Goto multiple times.

God they cannot possibly do EVIL/Sanada again, I can't take that pain. So I choose to believe this is where Tsuji gets a huge win against Sanada because he deserves/needs this bump.

God that match was frustratingly bad and would've been the WMOTY if he hadn't won.
This should be the last straw for Gedo's obsession with WCW 2000. Fire him and Togo

It does feel like this would have been Finlay beating SANADA to avenge last year, but hey Goto vs Tsuji should be fun.

Will Tsuji follow the tradition of LIJ and leave the group if he wins?

Tsuji had to win. I feel like Goto winning is a much more interesting call. Obviously trying to trade off of his Cup success in the past…but I would have gone with SANADA for a couple reasons.
Goto hasn’t won the cup in 12 years. While that history counts…it’s ancient. SANADA won it last year and then won the belt. Goto’s not a relevant singles star right now and hasn’t been for years. I’m not saying beating him has no value…he’s not HoT. But it has far less value than beating a guy who spent the last year in world title matches. Goto’s claim to fame is failing to win the biggest one…something Tsuji is about to go 0-2 on doing himself already. That used to be SANADA’s claim too…but, unlike Goto, he got that monkey off his back and did it. It was terrible…but he did it. Beating Goto and losing to Naito feels like the story is new Goto. Which is exactly what they did with Sanada for so long his eventual win failed miserably. Beating SANADA and losing to Naito makes the story feel like he’s right on the cusp and has already jumped over the Goto spot. Which would help since, again, he’s about to fail to win the biggest one for the second time already.
On the other hand…I can’t watch Sanada in big matches anymore.
