Five title changes highlight NJPW Dominion 2026 in Osaka-Jo Hall
New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s Dominion 2026 in Osaka-Jo Hall saw five championships change hands on Sunday, with Konosuke Takeshita the lone champion to retain—defeating SANADA to mark his fifth successful defense of the NJPW World Television Title, one shy of El Phantasmo’s single-reign mark of six and well behind Zack Sabre Jr.’s record 16 defenses. The night’s upheaval underscored a shifting title landscape in NJPW as several top belts found new holders.
Aaron Wolf captured the NEVER Openweight Championship for a second time, while Great-O-Khan and HENARE of United Empire regained the IWGP Tag Team Titles from the Knockout Brothers (who ended their run with six defenses). Shota Umino became the eighth IWGP Global Champion, YOH claimed the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship as the 100th titleholder and his first NJPW singles gold following his Best of the Super Juniors win, and Yota Tsuji won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship to become the 89th and a multi-time titleholder amid a lineage dominated by Okada and Tanahashi’s record defenses.
