This show is set for June 16, one day after the All Together Sapporo show. Full card:

- NEVER Openweight Championship- HENARE vs Shingo Takagi

- IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship Steel Cage Match- SHO vs El Desperado
This is unironically a much better card on paper than Dominion.

Nagai’s a military vet, so the dojo should be no trouble for him. If Yasuda wasn’t second gen, would he still be getting a second chance at the dojo?
That’s a really good card, I’m surprised they didn’t spread the title matchs over the tour but I guess the tournament for the G1 spots will make up most of the match of the rest of tour
Hell yeah love a young lion debut match
Wow! Can’t wait to see the rematches.
Is this a PPV?
Yasuda is literal lore accurate El Desperado (Has a Mexican dad)
Better i wouldn’t say that. But it’s a really solid card
Akira is back soon! Great newsÂ
Hope they keep the trios titles on LIJ
Previous classes of young lions have me unreasonably excited for the opening match
Surprising that the NEVER title match is happening so soon again (I thought the draw was to protect them from an assumed rematch in the G1) but I’ll take it since I feel like Shingo should beat Henare and move onto other challengers
6-man rematch is interesting, I wonder why they’d re-run since it seems like the previous match fulfilled its potential. Maybe Hiromu gets a pin over a heavyweight?
I was thinking that we were light on YL’s since Oiwa and Youngblood left.
Despy should be winning the belt back here too imo, especially if Wato can make it back for WK.
Weird to see Ishii with Hontai and then Umino with Bishamon. I wonder what it means for subsequent matches on the tour.
Also, Jr’s main eventing again over the Global title is cool but kinda telling for the results of those matches.
Jr title main event letsgoooo
Sorry, but there’s nothing that hype me up more than Kaito vs Gabe Kidd in Noah this Sunday.
So sadly I will pass it.
Oh my can’t wait for the steel cage match, I reckon the TMDK War Dogs match will be a sleeper too
Solid card. Stoked for Sanada to be back but hope Finlay beats him, tired of seeing my Rebel Savior hamstrung by stop/start pushing.
Another gimmick match? Thanks, I’ll pass.
