Former world champion helps group to Osaka success

Watch the Dominion replay now!

The United Empire looked out side of professional wrestling for its latest member for Dominion in Osaka Jo Hall on June 12, as renowned welterweight boxer Jessie Vargas accompanied the group to ringside and offered advice from the corner to Aaron Henare, TJP and Francesco Akira as well as great-O-Khan and Jeff Cobb. 

Former WBA and IBO Lightweight Champion, and former WBO Welterweight Champion Vargas seemed especially  keen in his advice of Aaron Henare, who buried some heavy shots to Hiroyoshi Tenzan in the opening bout before using a variant on the Full Nelson dubbed Ultima to claim victory. It was the start of an impressive night for the group, as Jeff Cobb and Great-O-Khan would regain the IWGP Tag Team Championships on the evening, and Will Ospreay would end the night as IWGP United States Champion; albeit without the physical belt to call his own.
