#4 Hiromu Takahashi vs. BUSHI (Best of Super Juniors 27 Day 3 - November 20th)

It has been quite the tumultuous year for Los Ingobernables de Japon. Following the betrayal of EVIL, fans have seen the remaining members of LIJ show more loyalty to one another, even though they have done battle against each other as well. In the Best of Super Juniors 27, Hiromu Takahashi and BUSHI will face off.

The two junior heavyweight members of the group have been frequent partners. They made it to the finals of the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Titles Tournament earlier this year, failing to defeat Yoshinobu Kanemaru and El Desperado in the end.

Now with a shot at the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight title on the line, they will do battle in what is a highly-anticipated encounter.

BUSHI has been known to be a somewhat inconsistent performer. The former IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion does not always bring his best, but when he is in there with the aces of the Juniors such as Will Ospreay and KUSHIDA, BUSHI always delivers.

Hiromu is arguably the current ace of the Juniors, being a former three-time IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion and Best of Super Juniors 25 winner.

These two will bring a lot of fire and aggression to this one. Whenever members of LIJ have done battle, they hold nothing back in a challenge to prove who is the superior stablemate. This will be a barnburner that will most likely steal the show on Night 3 of the Best of Super Juniors 27.
