New Japan Pro-Wrestling returns to the Edion Arena tonight for The New Beginning in Osaka, the final stop on their two-week New Beginning tour that saw events in both Japan and the United States.
The show will be headlined by Hiroshi Tanahashi’s first defense of the IWGP Heavyweight Championship which he won from Kenny Omega at Wrestle Kingdom 13. The newly resurrected Ace will do battle against a man who has been terrorizing the New Japan landscape for over a year — the “Switchblade” himself, Jay White.
Also on the card is the annual match between “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada and “The Underboss” of Bullet Club, Bad Luck Fale. Plus, Los Ingobernables de Japon’s “Bone Soldier” Taiji Ishimori will have his first defense of the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship against Ryusuke Taguchi.
