Two titles on the line in Sun Plaza Hall

April 25 sees the Golden Fight series head to Hiroshima, where two big title matches headline an action packed card. 

In the main event, Taichi will go head to head with Shingo Takagi over Taichi’s freshly won KOPW 2022 trophy. After Taichi defeated Toru Yano in a No-Rope Ring-Out match, he was quick to declare a new direction for the previously comedic trophy, and followed through by immediately nominating a former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion in Shingo Takagi to be his first challenger. Quite what rules either man will propose is unclear, but it seems certain that a KOPW match unlike any other in the title’s history is in store for Hiroshima. 

The NEVER Openweight Six Man Tag Team Championships will be on the line in Hiroshima when HOUSE OF TORTURE defend against Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa and Hiroshi Tanahashi. At Hyper Battle, Guerrillas of Destiny and Tanahashi finally struck a blow to the members of BULLET CLUB, as Jado made Gedo submit to the Crossface of Jado. In the moments that followed, Hiroshi Tanahashi finally officially welcomed G.o.D into Hontai, and now joins the seven time IWGP Tag Team Champions in challenging H.O.T. Can winning prove contagious for the Ace and the Guerrillas, and can they follow through with a NEVER 6 man victory?

Also in Hiroshima, one of the last major stops before Dontaku in the Pay Pay Dome May 1 will see one final preview for Kazuchika Okada opposite Tetsuya Naito before their IWGP World Heavyweight Championship clash. This CHAOS vs LIJ six man is impossible to overlook. 

Meanwhile Bishamon will take on the BULLET CLUB side of Bad Luck Fale and Chase Owens. With both of these teams set to challenge Jeff Cobb and Great-O-Khan at Dontaku, this is an intriguing preview indeed, and with plenty more action, it’s a stacked card in Hiroshima!
