New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Castle Attack event from Osaka-Jo Hall took place earlier today. This was night 2 of the new special show, with the main event seeing Kota Ibushi defend his IWGP Intercontinental Championship against Tetsuya Naito.
Kota Ibushi is the co-IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Champion. Ibushi has mentioned that he plans on unifying the Championships, something that Naito has said he does not want to happen. That is why Naito chose to only challenge for the IC belt.
