New champions crowned at NJPW New Beginning in Osaka

New champions were crowned at Saturday’s NJPW The New Beginning in Osaka tour-closing show. 

Minoru Suzuki, El Desperado, and Ren Narita defeated Bullet Club’s House of Torture (EVIL, Yujiro Takahashi, and SHO) to win the NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team titles in Osaka. 

Now calling themselves “Strong Style,” the newly-formed trio of Suzuki, Desperado, and Narita ended House of Torture’s second reign with the NEVER Six-Man titles with their victory. 

Both singles titles defended on the show remained with the incumbents. 

Kazuchika Okada defeated Shingo Takagi in the main event of the show to retain the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, then issued a challenge to Hiroshi Tanahashi for a title bout at Saturday’s Battle in the Valley pay-per-view. Tanahashi accepted the challenge for the show.

In the show’s semi-main event, Tama Tonga defeated El Phantasmo to retain the NEVER Openweight Championship.
