A look at the updated lineup for NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 13!

Now that the 16-event World Tag League is complete (check out results from the finale here), next up for New Japan Pro Wrestling’s big event schedule is Wrestle Kingdom 13 on January 4th from the Tokyo Dome.

Previously, we already knew that IWGP Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho was set to defend against the man he defeated for the title, Tetsuya Naito. Plus after winning the G1 Climax, Hiroshi Tanahashi is set for his shot at Kenny Omega’s IWGP Heavyweight Title.
