Tournament for NEVER Six-Man titles set for NJPW Wrestling World 2024

New NEVER Six-Man Champions will be crowned in Taiwan.

NJPW announced on Tuesday that a one-night tournament to crown new champions will take place at Wrestling World 2024 in Taiwan on April 14 at the Zepp New Taipei in New Taipei City. 

The titles have been vacant since the end of January, when Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Tomohiro Ishii successfully defended the titles against The Mighty Don’t Kneel (Kosei Fujita, Mikey Nicholls, and Shane Thorne). With Okada announcing his departure from the company, the titles were vacated following the title defense. Okada has since joined All Elite Wrestling.

Wrestling World 2024 will be a collaboration of the Asia-Pacific Federation of Wrestling group, which consists of NJPW, Stardom, Dragon Fighting Wrestling (China), Puzzle (Taiwan), SetUp (Thailand) and GrappleMax (Singapore). On Monday, it was announced that a match featuring Stardom talent will take place on the show. 

This will be the first time NJPW held a show in Taiwan since Wrestling World 2016.
