Double Gold Dash, Tanahashi vs. Jericho, Ospreay vs. Hiromu, More Official For NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 14
Wrestle Kingdom 14 takes shape.
NJPW confirmed Double Gold Dash will headline the two-night Wrestle Kingdom 14 event. On Jan. 4, Kazuchika Okada will defend his IWGP Heavyweight Championship against G1 Climax 29 winner Kota Ibushi. Also scheduled for Jan. 4 is Tetsuya Naito challenging Jay White for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship. The winners of the two title bouts will then meet on night two of Wrestle Kingdom 14 on Jan. 5 with both titles on the line.
The first dual title match to take place in the Tokyo Dome since Shinsuke Nakamura unified the IWGP and NWF Championships in 2004, the match will put an end to months of speculation as Kota Ibushi, Tetsuya Naito, Jay White and Kazuchika Okada all vie to determine just who is the ‘strongest and the best’ in professional wrestling today. The winners of January 4’s IWGP Intercontinental and Heavyweight Championships will collide in one winner-take-all match that will see one man’s name etched in the history books forever; a main event fitting of the ‘pinnacle of strength and birthplace of legend’.
