NJPW confirms the full King of Pro-Wrestling card with Tsuji v Oiwa on top

[SoloOrca]

NJPW has confirmed the full nine match card for King of Pro-Wrestling, POST Wrestling reports. The show is on Monday at Ryogoku Sumo Hall. In the main event, Yota Tsuji defends the IWGP Heavyweight Championship against G1 Climax 36 winner Ryohei Oiwa. That is the match MJF referenced in his video callout earlier this week

There are plenty of title matches below it. Gabe Kidd defends the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship against Shota Umino. YOH defends the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title against Robbie Eagles, which follows on from the challenge we covered from Korakuen. Aaron Wolf defends the NEVER Openweight Title against Kosei Fujita

AEW World Champion Will Ospreay returns to Japan as well. He teams with his United Empire partners Great-O-Khan and Henare to defend the NEVER Openweight Six Man Titles against Unbound Co. POST lists their opponents as Oskar, Yuto-Ice and Jeff Cobb, though the article's text and card listing differ slightly. Ospreay coming back to New Japan while holding AEW's top title is a big deal

There are some interesting names further down too. CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Hechicero teams with Boltin Oleg against TMDK's Zack Sabre Jr and Hartley Jackson. Konosuke Takeshita and Toru Yano face House of Torture's Ren Narita and Shun Skywalker. Two more multi man tags open the show

Tsuji against Oiwa is a proper generational main event. Both are young homegrown stars, and whoever wins becomes a central figure for the next few years. Oiwa winning the G1 and then the title would be a huge statement. Tsuji has been a strong champion, though, and he will not give it up easily

Who wins the main event? And which undercard match are you most looking forward to?
