After his victories at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 15, Kota Ibushi has requested to unify the IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Titles.
On the first day of the event, Ibushi defeated Tetsuya Naito to win both championships, and then he defended them against Jay White on day two.
Speaking in the press conference after the show, Ibushi said:
“The IWGP Intercontinental Championship is the greatest belt there is. The IWGP Heavyweight Championship is the strongest belt there is. I want to unify these titles. I want it to be both the greatest and the strongest. Nobody has challenged for just one of these titles. Then what does a double championship mean? I want to unify them. Then I will make my ultimate dreams come true.”
The titles haven’t been separated since Naito – who was the Intercontinental Champion – beat Kazuchika Okada – who was the Heavyweight Champion – at Wrestle Kingdom 14 at the start of last year.
