The biggest show for New Japan Pro Wrestling has finally arrived!
Tonight, Night One of Wrestle Kingdom 14 will feature five championship matches including Kazuchika Okada defending his belt against Kota Ibushi.
The tension has been building between the friends turned rivals and tonight, we’ll find out who’s truly the better man. Kota Ibushi already owns a victory over the IWGP Heavyweight Champion, can the 2019 G1 Climax winner get the win with the title on the line?
Also, Jay White will put the IWGP Intercontinental Championship on the line against Tetsuya Naito. The Bullet Club leader has gotten the best of the former multi-time champion on several occasions; however, the crafty Naito always finds a way to get the win in the end, will that same result happen tonight for the Los Ingobernables De Japon leader?
In a highly anticipated rematch, Will Ospreay will face off against a returning Hiromu Takahashi for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship. The “Aerial Assassin” has been on a hot streak since winning the title back at Dominion, will his momentum come crashing down in the Tokyo Dome?
All this and more are set for Night One of Wrestle Kingdom 14, which will take place on January 4 at 3 am ET (pre-show starts one hour prior). Check out the full card below:
