Watch LIVE on NJPW World for only ¥999($8.13, plus you get the first half of the G1 this month!)



This is easily the biggest show NJPW's run since Wrestle Kingdom 9 and could easily be the most important show for the company this year outside of that and the G1 Finals. They moved Dominion to Osaka-jo Hall this year (biggest building they're running outside of the Dome) and the gamble paid off with a sellout. Osaka's usually a very hot crowd and the atmosphere should be amazing. If you have any interest in NJPW at all this is a must subscribe month with the G1 starting in a couple weeks.

Every title is on the line for the first time I can remember in a non Dome show since I started following the company in 2012. The non title matches are also a LOT more interesting than we've seen on most shows this year. Shibata vs. Sakuraba could be excellent and is a fresh singles match, the YTR/Tana feud has been fun, and the Naito/Honma vs Fale/Yujiro match is now a must watch due to Naito's new heelish demeanor since joining the Ingobernables during his CMLL tour.

AJ Styles(c) vs. Kazuchika Okada - IWGP HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Hirooki Goto(c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura - IWGP INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Toru Yano
The Kingdom(c) (Mike Bennett+Matt Taven w/Maria Kanellis) vs. Bullet Club (Karl Anderson+Doc Gallows w/Amber Gallows) -IWGP HEAVYWEIGHT TAG CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Togi Makabe(c) vs. Tomohiro Ishii - NEVER OPENWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Kenny Omega(c) vs. KUSHIDA -IWGP JR CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Katsuyori Shibata vs Kazushi Sakuraba
Tetsuya Naito and Tomoaki Honma vs. Bullet Club (Bad Luck Fale + Yujiro Takahashi)
Young Bucks(c) vs. reDRagon vs. RPG Vice - IWGP JR TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH)
Ten-Cozy, Liger, TMIV and Komatsu vs. Nagata, Nakanishi, Taguchi, Dorada, and Tanaka

Son of a bitch, I thought this was a 4am card. I can go to bed early enough to wake up in time for the 4am cards, but I have no chance of either staying up to watch the whole thing or waking up by 2:45. Guess I'll try for waking up around 5am and hoping I hit intermission.

AJ did an interview on NJPW World talking about his stable and the big match with Okada that's freely available to everyone including non subscribers (you really should be a subscriber this month if you're not broke tho)

Actually starts before midnight on the West Coast, bananas.

Seems like there could be a lot of title changes tonight looking at that card. None of those matchups stand out to me as 'yeah, they're definitely retaining tonight'.

I think Goto retaining and Nakamura going on to win the G1 is a pretty safe call. I think Makabe is a sure winner too.

An AJ/Nakamura G1 final would rule.

Having Nakanishi and Tenzan in the ring at the same time has to be some horrible, horrible rib on us all. Neither can loving move at this point.
