New Japan Pro-Wrestling has confirmed the opening slate for Dominion 2026, set for June 14 at Osaka-jo Hall, with Callum Newman defending the IWGP Heavyweight Championship against Yota Tsuji in the main event. The match is a rematch of Sakura Genesis where Newman first captured the title, and Tsuji earned this return shot after pinning Newman in a tag match earlier in the week.
Six matches have been announced so far, five of them for gold, including Andrade El Idolo’s first defense of the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship in a three-way against Shota Umino and Drilla Moloney, IWGP Tag Team Champions Yuto-Ice & OSKAR vs. Great-O-Khan & Henare, NEVER Openweight Champion Ren Narita vs. Aaron Wolf, and NJPW World Television Champion Konosuke Takeshita vs. SANADA, plus a non-title tag pitting Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa against Yuya Uemura & Taichi. The show will air live on NJPW World with English commentary as the promotion heads into its Best of the Super Juniors tour beginning May 14.
