Absolutely should be, but he will be undeniable soon regardless so it's no big deal. It's quite interesting that he's ended up at BW at this moment in time because if he wants to unify he can either...
- Fight Naoya's brother Takuma and potentially set up a revenge match down the road
- Fight Jason Moloney after he already sent his brother Andrew to the shadow realm
- Fight Rodriguez, who got crushed by Naoya years ago
There's also been talk from Estrada about wanting to move up, but i think he'd avoid Nakatani like the plague. Until Nakatani moves up to SBW he's gonna find little to no resistance from his opponents, he's just too good for the current crop.
