New Japan Pro Wrestling will present their annual Sakura Genesis event on April 4th. The show will be headline by two huge title matches. Kota Ibushi will defend the newly christened IWGP World Heavyweight Championship against New Japan Cup 2021 winner Will Ospreay. Also Roppongi 3K reunite, as YOH returns from injury to team once again with SHO and challenge El Desperado & Yoshinobu Kanemaru for the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championship.
Title belts aren’t the only hook for the April 4th extravaganza. The United Empire is promising a fourth member. Who will the mystery partner be? We’ll have to see.
