Young Lion Cup Scenarios
- If Shota Umino wins his match, he’s the tournament winner. He already holds a tiebreaker over Ren Narita.
- Clark Connors is already eliminated due to Kyle Fredericks holding a tie breaker over him at 10 points
- If Narita wins, Fredericks is elimnated due to Narita holding the tiebreaker over Fredericks.
- If Connors defeats Narita, the winner of Umino and Fredericks is the tournament winner.
- The only way for Karl Fredericks to win the tournament is a victory over Umino paired with a Narita loss.
