At New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) Summer Struggle earlier today, Kazuchika Okada and Yujiro Takahashi were announced as the first two entrants in the New Japan KOPW title tournament. Okada actually cut a promo on Takahashi at the show, suggesting their matchup be a 3 on 1 handicap match, with Okada being the one at the disadvantage.
The eight-man tournament begins on August 26 in Korakuen Hall.
Okada: Sorry to say this during the NEVER tournament, but Yujiro, you're going to be in the KOPW 2020 right? Let's you and I go at it in the first round! And my rules? One on three, handicap match is no problem with me!
