Will Ospreay Wins The IWGP Heavyweight Championship At NJPW's SAKURA GENESIS Pay-Per-View

The Empire leader finally climbed to the top of the mountain by beating Kota Ibushi for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at New Japan Pro-Wrestling's Sakura Genesis event. Get some more info on the show.

Will Ospreay is the new IWGP Heavyweight Champion!

Ospreay’s star has been on a rise since turning heel late last year and the former NEVER Openweight Champion is finally the top dog of New Japan Pro-Wrestling. The match between Ospreay and Kota Ibushi was nearly a 30-minute affair that saw The Empire leader get the victory thanks to the Storm Breaker.

This ends a short title reign for Kota Ibushi, who won the belt back at Wrestle Kingdom 15 and successfully defended it against Jay White, SANADA, and El Desperado. This marks the first IWGP Heavyweight title reign for Will Ospreay.

The IWGP Heavyweight Championship wasn’t the only belt that changed hands as Roppongi 3K (SHO & YOH) are the new IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions. The duo was forced to vacate the tag titles in August after YOH suffered a knee injury. YOH and SHO are now five-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions.
