The full match-card for Power Struggle has been confirmed.
IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Champion Tetsuya Naito will meet a familiar foe on Nov. 7 as the double champion is set to defend his belts against EVIL. While Naito beat The Bullet Club member at the Summer Struggle show to regain his prestigious titles, EVIL ended up avenging his loss on Night Fourteen of the G1 Climax tournament.
Speaking of the G1 Climax, Kota Ibushi’s title shot at Wrestle Kingdom 15 isn't set just yet as the 2020 winner will put his briefcase on the line against former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Jay White. The Bullet Club leader pulled a victory over Ibushi on Night Three of the tournament.
Elsewhere, Shingo Takagi will get a chance to reclaim the NEVER Openweight Championship as he’ll fight Minoru Suzuki for the belt. Hiroshi Tanahashi could end up stealing the No. 1 contendership from KENTA as the two men will fight for the right to challenge the IWGP United States Champion.
