The main event for NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18 is set.
On January 4, 2024, SANADA will put his IWGP World Heavyweight Title on the line against Tetsuya Naito. Naito earned his title shot by winning the G1 Climax.
To secure his shot, Naito had to defend against Jeff Cobb at NJPW Destruction in Kobe on September 24. SANADA successfully defended his title against EVIL at NJPW Destruction in Ryoku on Monday.
After SANADA’s victory, Naito confronted him, officially confirming their match at Wrestle Kingdom.
Both SANADA and Naito were previously part of Los Ingobernables de Japon, but SANADA split to join Just Five Guys.
