New Champions Crowned, Huge Dominion Main Event Set, Best Of Super Juniors Field Announced At NJPW Show
NJPW Wrestling Dontaku took place early Wednesday morning, and shaped the future of New Japan.
Kenny Omega and Okada will clash in the main event of Dominion on June 11 from Osaka-jo Hall. The two will compete for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, currently held by Okada. It will serve as a highly anticipated rematch of their critically acclaimed match at this year's Wrestle Kingdom event. Omega defeated Tomohiro Ishii, while Okada beat Bad Luck Fale at Dontaku.
