The immediate future of New Japan Pro-Wrestling is in the balance at Dominion on June 7.
In a match for the vacant IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, the most prestigious wrestling title in the industry, the famed Kazuchika Okada faces off against Shingo Takagi.
Okada is a five-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion. At 720 days, he holds the lengthiest reign in the title’s history, and he is synonymous with greatness throughout the industry. If he wins, this will be his first run as champ since the title was rebranded to the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. And with Will Ospreay vacating the title due to a neck injury, it certainly would make sense for Okada to reclaim his spot atop the company.
