Chris Jericho defeated Tetsyua Naito for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship at Dominion 6.9 back in June, and since then he's been ducking a rematch with the former 'Stardust Genius.' However, it's now been confirmed that Naito will get his shot at Y2J at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 13 in January.

Both men are coming off successful Power Struggle bouts (Jericho against EVIL, Naito against Zack Sabre Jr.) and have a tonne of momentum heading into this massive New Japan event.

Here are the other matches that have been added to the card:

IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion KUSHIDA vs. Taiji Ishimori
Kazuchika Okada vs. Jay White
IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Title three-way: El Desperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru, Roppongi 3K, and Shingo Takagi and BUSHI.
