Five Championship Matches Will Take Place On NJPW's DOMINION

Dominion is finally here. 

Goto has served New Japan Pro-Wrestling well as the IWGP Heavyweight Champion. Ever since he shocked the world by beating Zack Sabre Jr. for the belt in February, Goto has been defending his title left and right throughout the past few months. This is Goto's seventh title defense, but it could be his last. 

Two of the best wrestlers in the world collide for the most prestigious championship in professional wrestling on 6/15.

That’s because Shingo Takagi has beaten the world champion in the past. Shingo beat Goto at The New Beginning in Sapporo in 2020. That was five years ago, but Takagi has gotten better as a performer since then. Shingo Takagi is a former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion; can he win the belt again and cement his name as a top star? Or will Goto’s experience get the better of Shingo?

Who will settle the score between Gabe Kidd and Yota Tsuji? At The New Beginning in Osaka, these two went to war for the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship and the match ended in a double knockout. Kidd has been distracted with The Bullet Club War, but tonight, he finally gets his rematch to determine who’s the better man. Tsuji has held the Global championship for more than 150 days; can he survive another day as the Global Heavyweight Champion?

Speaking of the Bullet Club War, it reaches it’s climax tonight as EVIL and David Finlay will fight in a Dog Collar match. This is going to be a violent blood bath that will push both men to the limit. Who will stand tall in the final chapter of The Bullet Club War Dogs vs. House of Torture saga?
