A tournament will crown new NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Champions.
New Japan Pro-Wrestling has announced that a one-night tournament will crown new NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champions at Wrestling World 2024 on April 14. The titles have been vacant since Kazuchika Okada vacated the gold following his match at NJPW Road to the New Beginning on January 24. He, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Tomohiro Ishii had held the titles since Wrestling Dontaku on May 3, 2023, and they defended the titles eight times.
From NJPW:
When Kazuchika Okada wrestled his last match in Korakuen Hall for NJPW this past January, it was with the NEVER Openweight 6 Man Championships on the line against TMDK. With his team alongside Hiroshi Tanahashi and Tomohiro Ishii successful for their eighth defence on the night, Okada declared that he would be vacating the titles leaving the gold the center of much speculation ever since.
Now, it’s confirmed that the 27th NEVER Openweight 6 Man Tag team Champions will be crowned April 14 in Taipei, at Wrestling World 2024. A one night tournament will take place at Zepp New Taipei, with the winning team taking home the trios titles. NJPW’s return to Taiwan has gained a big stakes attraction, but who will come away with the gold?
