IWGP World title match, two new matches confirmed for NJPW Dominion
The IWGP World Heavyweight title match is now official for Dominion.
NJPW confirmed on Sunday that Hirooki Goto will defend the title against Shingo Takagi. After defending his title at Wrestling Dontaku, Goto was confronted by Takagi, who said he would face the winner between Goto and Zack Sabre Jr., who did battle at Friday’s Resurgence. That match ended in a controversial double pin that resulted in a draw, allowing Goto to retain the title.
Two new matches have also been added to the June 15 card in Osaka-jo Hall. Konosuke Takeshita will defend the NEVER title against Oleg Boltin. This will be the rubber match between the two, with Boltin defeating Takeshita at last year’s G1. Takeshita evened the scorecard this past February.
Hiroshi Tanahashi will also continue his farewell tour taking on one of NJPW’s rising stars in Yuya Uemura.
