NJPW Road to KOPW results: IWGP Junior title match

NJPW’s Road to King of Pro Wrestling tour continues today with an IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship match in the main event.

El Desperado will put the IWGP Junior title on the line against DOUKI in today’s Korakuen Hall show-closer. The two have met six times prior with Desperado holding a 5-1 career edge in singles competition.

Yuya Uemura takes on Yuto-Ice in the co-main event position today in without a doubt the highest-profile match of Yuto’s career since his return from excursion. The only time the two met prior was in 2021 when as a Young Lion, Yuto dislocated his elbow in a bout against Uemura.

Shota Umino and OSKAR square off in the other special singles match on today’s Korakuen card.

Four tag team bouts fill out the rest of the main show’s undercard, with another Young Lion tag bout set for the pre-show.

The pre-show kicks off at 5 a.m. Eastern time on NJPW World with the main card set for 5:30.

Masatora Yasuda & Zane Jay defeated Shoma Kato & Tatsuya Matsumoto

(Quite a bit of mention to Aaron Wolf during this showcase. With him being an Olympic athlete, the former judoka may well be worth hyping up come time he wrestles his first match at Wrestle Kingdom 20.)

Kato and Yasuda exchanged strikes, whereas Jay instantly found himself tackled and stretched by Kato and Matsumoto, respectively. He finally swung a comeback in a Sunset Flip + Boston Crab combination to Kato. Matsumoto took advantage of Yasuda’s taped up knee as he sunk in a Boston Crab. Yasuda returned the favor, leading to Matsumoto inevitably tapping out.

Post-match: Jay and Kato brawled on the outside, to which Aaron Wolf broke up.
