New Japan Pro Wrestling is advertising the following matches for Wednesday morning’s Best of the Super Juniors 26 event that will be held in Tokyo, Japan at Ryogoku Kokugikan (Sumo Hall).
-Will Ospreay vs. Shingo Takagi in the finals of the Best of the Super Juniors tournament finals.
-Juice Robinson vs. Jon Moxley for the IWGP U.S. Championship.
-Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Jay White.
-Kazuchika Okada and Rocky Romero vs. Marty Scurll and Brody King.
-Kota Ibushi, Togi Makabe, Tomoaki Honma, and Toa Henare vs. Tetsuya Naito, Evil, Sanada, and Bushi.
-Jushin Liger, Tomohiro Ishii, Toru Yano, Yoshi-Hashi, and Tiger Mask vs. Minoru Suzuki, Zack Sabre Jr., Taichi, Yoshinobu Kanemaru, and Douki.
-Sho, Yoh, and Ryusuki Taguchi vs. Taiji Ishimori, Robbie Eagles, and El Phantasmo.
-Dragon Lee, Titan, and Shota Umino vs. Bandido, Jonathan Gresham, and Ren Narita.
Powell’s POV: The big three matches should be a lot of fun. NJPW is also running Dominion on Sunday morning in Osaka with Kazuchika Okada vs. Chris Jericho for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, Kota Ibushi vs. Tetsuya Naito for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship, and Taichi vs. Tomohiro Ishii for the Never Openweight Championship.

It’s Hiroshi Tanahashi, not Hiromu Takahashi.
There’s a difference? Kidding! My fingers have a mind of their own sometimes. Thanks.
