[Ederson]

New Japan's Power Struggle delivered drama and set up Wrestle Kingdom. POST Wrestling reports on the event at Hiroshima Sun Plaza Hall, attended by 3,683 fans

Gabe Kidd beat Taichi in 30 minutes and one second with the Death Dog Driver to retain the IWGP Global Heavyweight title. After the match, he piledrove NJPW president Hiroshi Tanahashi. Yuya Uemura made the save, Jon Moxley came out to help Kidd, and Kidd against Uemura is now set for Wrestle Kingdom 21

Kenny Omega beat Yota Tsuji and Boltin Oleg in a non title three way match lasting 12 minutes and 50 seconds. Knockout Bros kept the IWGP Tag Team titles when Will Ospreay and Callum Newman were disqualified after 18 minutes and 18 seconds

Shingo Takagi and Jeff Cobb beat Moxley and Wheeler Yuta, and Taiji Ishimori and Robbie X won the Super Junior Tag League final against Robbie Eagles and Kosei Fujita

Kidd attacking Tanahashi is a big moment, because he is one of the most respected figures in New Japan history. Uemura stepping up to defend him sets up a very personal Tokyo Dome match. Power Struggle did exactly what it needed to do in building towards January

Who will win Kidd against Uemura? And was attacking Tanahashi the right move for the story?
