New Japan Pro-Wrestling has revealed the full Night One card for the 2026 Best of the Super Juniors tournament, which opens May 14 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. The 33rd edition of the junior heavyweight round-robin event kicks off with a stacked slate of matches to begin the block stage.

Highlighted on the Night One lineup is a Best of the Super Jr. B Block clash between Taiji Ishimori and Jakob Austin Young, with the remainder of the A and B Block pairings also set to debut that evening. Fans should expect fast-paced, high-flying action as competitors begin their runs toward the tournament final.

IWGP Heavyweight Champion Callum Newman has challenged Yota Tsuji and Shingo Takagi to a high-stakes tag match at Ignition to Dominion on May 6, teaming with Jake Lee against the Unbound Co. duo. Stipulations are clear: if the Unbound Co. score a pinfall over Newman, the pinner earns a shot at the IWGP Heavyweight Title in Dominion’s main event on June 14; if Newman and Lee win, neither Tsuji nor Takagi can challenge Newman for the title again. NJPW has yet to post an official card, and the show streams live on New Japan World at 4 a.m. ET.

Newman retained the belt at Wrestling Dontaku night two via a low blow against Takagi, his first defense since winning the title from Tsuji at Sakura Genesis 2026, and tensions continued to simmer with former mentor Will Ospreay after he questioned Newman’s tactics. United Empire picked up gold at Dontaku as well, with Ospreay, Great-O-Khan and HENARE capturing the NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Championships.
