Will Ospreay added another title to his resume, capturing the NEVER Openweight Championship from Kota Ibushi at Wrestle Kingdom 13.
As expected, the two men tore the Tokyo Dome down, throwing everything but the kitchen sink at each other in order to secure the victory. The match began with a torrid pace as both men unleashed an aerial assault in an effort to top their opponent. Things eventually broke down into a striking affair with Ibushi and Ospreay battering each other with hard-hitting kicks, chops, slaps and elbows. Ospreay hit Ibushi with a nasty elbow to the back of the head before putting him away with a Storm Breaker.
After the bout, Ibushi was stretchered out of the ring.

Really hope and pray Ibushi is okay. That is absolutely brutal looking. Will not accept both Takahashi AND Ibushi on the injured list--#njwk13 pic.twitter.com/aXPNKEhaYX

Hopefully he's alright.
He took some hits in that one, and his mush ended up looking similar to that of a certain 'Man' a couple of months ago.#njwk13 pic.twitter.com/hxRakeRSwl
