IWGP World Heavyweight Championship bout to headline in the Dome

Wednesday’s Korakuen Hall Kizuna Road event saw the official announcement that Wrestle Grand Slam in the Tokyo Dome had a new date of July 25, with Shingo Takagi and Kota Ibushi in the main event. 

The announcement comes after Shingo Takagi demanded the ‘biggest possible stage’ for his future IWGP World Heavyweight Championship match with Kota Ibushi, and NJPW has responded to the Dragon’s request. Takagi vs Ibushi will be the main event for the Tokyo Dome card, Ibushi headlining in the stadium for the fourth time in his career, while Takagi steps on the Tokyo Dome main event stage for the very first time in his career. 

Wrestle Grand Slam will come to you live and in English on NJPW World.
