Two Huge Title Matches Added To NJPW Summer Struggle In Jingu

New Japan Pro Wrestling is returning for their next stadium show on August 29. Now, we know two more big championship matches that will take place at Summer Struggle in Jingu.

They have announced that Minoru Suzuki will challenge Shingo Takagi for the NEVER Openweight Championship and Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kota Ibushi will get their rematch for the IWGP Tag Team Championship at the show.

Both of these matches had been alluded to on their most recent show. Suzuki has not held the NEVER Openweight title since losing the belt to Hirooki Goto at Wrestle Kingdom 12. Meanwhile, Tanahashi and Ibushi only just lost the tag titles to TAICHI and Sabre at Dominion. The last three tag title reigns have ended on their first title defence. We will see if that streak continues here.
