Another new champion is crowned at NJPW Dominion event.
During today’s Dominion show in Osaka, Will Ospreay defeated SANADA to win the vacant IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship.
Ospreay has now won the IWGP World Heavyweight, Junior Heavyweight, NEVER Openweight and United States Heavyweight Championships. He is the first British star to do so.
The IWGP U.S. Title was vacated by Juice Robinson, following his appendix injury that forced him to miss today’s show.
This follows Ospreay and The United Empire showing up on this week’s AEW Dynamite. The group then lost to FTR and Trent Baretta on AEW Rampage.
It remains to be seen who Will Ospreay will face at the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door event on June 26.
This was the third championship to change hands on the Dominion event, including the NEVER Openweight and IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships.
オスプレイ「俺はこれまで『NEW JAPAN CUP』優勝、『SUPER Jr.』優勝、IWGPジュニア王座戴冠、NEVER王座戴冠、IWGP世界ヘビー級王座を戴冠してきたが、今日でUSヘビー級王座が追加された。残る宝はあと一つ……UNITED EMPIREが『G1 CLIMAX』を制する!」
