NJPW’s 46th Anniversary show is set, which means the card has been made official.
It was once tradition at these special events that the IWGP Heavyweight and Junior Heavyweight champions would collide. Kazuchika Okada and Kota Ibushi did battle back in 2014. The match garnered a ton of praise from fans.
The tradition has returned as Okada will take on Will Ospreay in a rematch from their 2015 encounter under the Rev Pro banner. There will also be two title bouts. The show takes place tomorrow (March 6) at 5 a.m. Of course SEScoops will provide coverage of the event. You can peep the full lineup below:
