New Japan Pro Wrestling’s October scheduling is usually dominated by the POWER STRUGGLE shows – and 2018 is no different. This year’s lineup of shows will of course feature the ‘Road To’ and Main shows themselves, some of which will be available on NJPWWorld.
Saturday will see the first of the main POWER STRUGGLE shows take place. The main headline grabber for more casual fans is of course the IWGP Intercontinental Championship match between Chris Jericho and EVIL. This will be Jericho’s first NJPW bout in a few months and the build up has been going since Jericho’s bout against Naito for the Championship.
