Jay White defeated Tetsuya Naito to capture the IWGP Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship on Sunday. In doing so, “Switchblade” became the second IWGP Triple Crown Champion in the history of New Japan Pro Wtestling.
In order to become a triple crown champion, one must win the IWGP United States Championship, the IWGP Intercontinental Championship, and the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. The only other competitor to have this status is none other than All Elite Wrestling’s (AEW) Kenny Omega.
