Four big title matches have been announced for the upcoming NJPW Dominion pay-per-view.
Dominion will be headlined by IWGP World Heavyweight Champion SANADA defending against Yota Tsuji. This will be SANADA’s second title defense since wining the strap from Kazuchika Okada at Sakura Genesis on April 8 as he retained over Hiromu Takahashi at Wrestling Dontaku on Wednesday. Tsuji returned to NJPW at Wrestling Dontaku to attack SANADA and the rest of the Just Five Guys stable, indicating that he is joining up with Los Ingobernables de Japón.
Dominion will also see new NEVER Openweight Champion David Finlay defend against El Phantasmo. Finlay defeated Tama Tonga to win the title on Wednesday at Wrestling Dontaku, but he was then attacked by ELP.
NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Champions Aussie Open will be in action at Dominion as they defend their IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Titles in a Three-Way against Bishamon’s Hirooki Goto and YOSHI-HASHI, and House of Torture’s EVIL and Yujiro Takahashi.
