STOP DOING HEROIN

You vs. the man she told you not to worry about



New Japan returns to Osaka-Jo Hall for its second-biggest show of the year, once again featuring a stacked card that includes the legendary dream match of JON MOXLEY VS. SHOTA UMINO.

AEW Superstar Chris Jericho comes back to New Japan as THE PAINMAKER, who looks to bring down Okada with THE JUDAS EFFECT and celebrate with the IWGP belt in front of 20,000 screaming Jerichoholics. Honestly I kinda hope he wins just for the Twitter meltdowns.

Ibushi and Naito will try to break each other's necks again and it will be rad as heck.

Ospreay is fresh off his second BOSJ win after ending Shingo's streak in an instant classic at the final. Will he unseat Dragon Lee and take the junior belt to the G1? That would be pretty cool. After suffering his first singles loss in the company, Shingo will take out his frustrations on the leader of the Bread Club.

Big Match Taichi will carry Ishii to another four stars, write it down.

GoD vs. EVIL/SANADA is happening again, for ... reasons.

Liger and Suzuki are destined to do this forever.

None of these matches are JON MOXLEY VS. SHOTA UMINO which may or may not end with a ten-bell salute for the young boy. RIP in peace Shota you had a good run.

How to watch: NJPW World, Fite TV. AXS will be airing a limited replay the following week.

The card

IWGP Heavyweight Championship: Kazuchika Okada(c) vs. Chris Jericho
IWGP Intercontinental Championship: Kota Ibushi(c) vs. Tetsuya Naito
IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship: Dragon Lee(c) vs. Will Ospreay
IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship: Guerrillas of Destiny(c) vs. EVIL & SANADA
NEVER Openweight Championship: Taichi(c) vs. Tomohiro Ishii
Hiroshi Tanahashi, Juice Robinsion, & Ryusuke Taguchi vs. Jay White, Chase Owens, and Taiji Ishimori
Jushin Thunder Liger & YOSHI-HASHI vs. Minoru Suzuki & Zack Sabre Jr.
Satoshi Kojima vs. Shingo Takagi
JON MOXLEY VS. SHOTA UMINO



Let's post and have fun together!

Jericho taking the belt to AEW would be pretty funny, but unless they're super-duper working us with these "there's no relationship" statements, there aren't many compelling reasons for a title change right now.

Okada
Ibushi (I have a strong feeling that the loser here is winning the G1)
Ospreay (Dragon's had a good run, but I'm not convinced the Hiromu rematch, whenever it happens, needs the belt involved)
Taichi (we all love Ishii but let's be honest, he's a rich man's Goto when it comes to losing big matches)
GoD (somehow I forgot they were still the champs)
Tana/Juice/Taguchi (Juice pins Chase in a "get your heat back after losing your belt" spot)
Liger/Tacos (Suzuki and Liger immediately brawl into the streets of Osaka, Tacos rolls up Sabre in his annual "we'll pretend you're not a total geek for a month" pre-G1 warmup)
Shingo
DEATH RIDER

Good spot on the card for a smoke break. Hopefully EVIL/SANADA are holding up the belts when I come back.

At this point I think we vastly underestimated how much turnover there would be from last year's G1 field, especially if it's not expanding.

So he's not in the G1? Wouldn't he have announced it there if anything? Or is it more gradual than that?

His big story right now is the frenemies thing with Robbie Eagles, so it makes sense if that's his first focus immediately after winning the belt
