New Japan’s latest show, Wrestling Dontaku Day Two, is in the books. This was a very newsworthy event by the end as this marked the return of Chris Jericho to New Japan Pro Wrestling.
Following Kazuchika Okada’s successful defence of the IWGP Heavyweight Championship over SANADA, Jericho appeared on the screen and issued a challenge to Okada for Dominion on June 9th. Okada accepted and the main event of Dominion was scheduled. You can read more about that announcement here.
The mysterious final participant of the Best of the Super Juniors tournament has been confirmed as El Phantasmo. His arrival in New Japan has been talked about for weeks but now it has been made official.
