Two title bouts announced for NJPW Destruction in Kobe.
New Japan Pro-Wrestling announced that Tetsuya Naito will defend his IWGP World Heavyweight Title against Great-O-Khan at NJPW Destruction in Kobe on September 29.
Plus, David Finlay defends the IWGP Global Heavyweight Title against YOSHI-HASHI.
The IWGP World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line when Tetsuya Naito defends against Great-O-Khan. Though falling short of the G1 at the playoff stage, O-Khan did hold a final league night victory over Naito, and reasserted his championship claim in performances in Ryogoku Sumo Hall on closing weekend. O-Khan has said that his true vision as KOPW Champion, and as someone ‘to surpass Antonio Inoki’ wiill be solidifed when he becomes IWGP World Heavyweight Champion- will this be the night the Dominator takes over the world?
Also in Kobe, the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship is on the line when David Finlay faces YOSHI-HASHI. After elimination from the G1 at the hands of Yota Tsuji on August 17, David Finlay was set to hit the ground running the very next night. Yet it was YOSHI-HASHI who scored a shock pin over the Rebel with Itadakikari, proving indeed that everything can change in an instant. A former 6 man and IWGP Tag Team Champion, YOSHI-HASHI has never held singles gold, but will that too change in an instant in Kobe?
Fightful will have results from NJPW Destruction in Kobe on September 29.
