NJPW New Beginning in Osaka Lineup

New Japan Pro Wrestling presents a big show February 10th, 2018, from Edion Arena in Osaka, Japan.

The event is built around the CHAOS versus Los InGobernables rivalry. The final 5 matches on the show will all feature single’s matches featuring wrestlers from each faction against each other. 3 CHAOS single’s champions will defend their titles against members of LIJ.

The press conference for the event (w/ English subtitles) is below:

New Beginning in Osaka Lineup

1. Yuji Nagata vs. Katsuya Kitamura (Kitamura’s 7-match trial series)
2. Roppongi 3K (Sho and Yoh) vs. El Desperado & Yoshinobu Kanemaru (Suzuki-Gun)
   • I would imagine if Suzuki-Gun wins, they would earn a shot against Roppongi 3K for the Jr. Heavyweight titles.
3. David Finlay, Juice Robinson, & Tenare vs. Toru Yano, Tomohiro Ishii, & Jay White (CHAOS)
   • Earlier this week, White attacked Finlay after defeating him in a single’s match. Kelly has been playing up their history training together on commentary.
   • If someone pins Jay White (or even someone else on CHAOS) they might be in a spot to challenge White for the IWGP US title.
4. Ryusuke Taguchi, Michael Elgin, Kushida, & Togi Makabe vs. Taka Michinoku, Taichi, Takashi Iizuka, & Minoru Suzuki
   • Suzuki turned down Makabe’s challenge for an IWGP Intercontinental championship earlier this week.
5. Gedo (CHAOS) vs. Bushi (LIJ)
   • Gedo stole Bushi’s mask earlier this week
6. Yoshi-Hashi (CHAOS) vs. Tetsuya Naito (LIJ)
7. IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship
   Will Ospreay (CHAOS) (c) vs. Hiromu Takahashi
