New Japan Pro Wrestling

New Japan Pro Wrestling will hold its Power Struggle show tomorrow in EDION Arena Osaka.

The full card is:

• DOUKI and Yoshinobu Kanemaru vs. Kosei Fujita and Ryohei Oiwa
• Gedo, Jado and Tanga Loa vs. Tiger Mask, Togi Makabe and Tomoaki Honma
• BUSHI, Hiromu Takahashi and SANADA vs. Master Wato, Ryusuke Taguchi and Yuji Nagata
• NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championships: Hirooki Goto, Tomohiro Ishii and YOSHI-HASHI (c) vs. EVIL, SHO and Yujiro Takahashi

Hirooki Goto, Tomohiro Ishii and YOSHI-HASHI will attempt their tenth defense of the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championships against EVIL, SHO and Yujiro Takahashi.

Toru Yano will attempt his first defense of the KOPW 2021 trophy against Great-O-Khan.

Robbie Eagles will attempt his second defense of the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship against El Desperado.

Hiroshi Tanahashi will attempt his second defense of the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship against KENTA. Given Katsuyori Shibata’s history with both men and recent return, one has to wonder if this match will set the stage for Shibata’s official in-ring return in the future.

Kazuchika Okada will attempt his first defense of the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship challenge rights certificate (which Okada either does not have or simply does not want) against Tama Tonga. Okada asked to hold the retired IWGP Heavyweight Championship instead of receiving a IWGP World Heavyweight Championship challenge rights certificate as his reward for winning the G1 Climax at a press conference on October 22, and appeared with the IWGP Heavyweight Championship on the Road to Power Struggle tour shows.

Shingo Takagi will attempt his third defense of the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship against Zack Sabre Jr. in the main event.
