Nick Wayne is two Best of the Super Juniors tournaments into his NJPW run, and the growth is real, but so are the questions. At just 20 years old, he's already showing the kind of effort and instinct that makes you believe in his ceiling. His matches with Jun Kasai and Kosei Fujita stand out as genuine highlights, and his work ethic on non-main event nights sets him apart from wrestlers who coast.
On this clip from Keepin' It Strong Style, Jeremy and Josh dig into Wayne's BOSJ 33 performances, his card placement, and what his long-term trajectory actually looks like. The conversation gets honest about AEW's track record developing young talent beyond faction underling roles, and why a lengthy excursion through NJPW and CMLL might be the most important move of his career.
