Four Championships Change Hands at NJPW Dominion, Including New World Champ

Four championships changed hands at the NJPW Dominion show earlier today in Osaka, Japan, which will seemingly have implications for the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door PPV on Sunday, June 26.

  • IWGP World Heavyweight Championship: Jay White defeated Kazuchika Okada (c) – Hangman Page called out Okada on Dynamite, saying he wanted a title shot against him. Adam Cole then said that he deserves the title shot, seemingly setting up a three way match. It appears that the new champ, Jay White may now be in the match instead.
  • IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship: Will Ospreay defeated SANADA – New US Champ Will Ospreay appeared on AEW TV last week.
  • IWGP Tag Team Championship: Great-O-Khan & Jeff Cobb defeated Chase Owens & Bad Luck Fale (c) – Cobb and Great-O-Khan have appeared on AEW TV recently, seemingly setting up a role/match for them at the PPV, which may now be for the IWGP Tag Team titles.
  • NEVER Openweight Championship: Karl Anderson defeated Tama Tonga (c) – Anderson and Gallows have not appeared on AEW TV recently, so it’s unclear for now if they’ll have a role at the PPV.
