Five title matches official for NJPW Dominion
NJPW has confirmed a slate of title matches for Dominion 2026.
One of NJPW’s biggest events of the year, Dominion will be held at Osaka-jo Hall on June 14. A press conference was held overnight with NJPW making its first match announcements for the show. It was officially confirmed that the main event will be Callum Newman putting his IWGP Heavyweight Championship on the line against Yota Tsuji.
Newman vs. Tsuji is a rematch from Sakura Genesis, where Newman defeated Tsuji to become the youngest IWGP Heavyweight Champion in history. Tsuji then earned another shot at the belt by pinning Newman in a tag team match earlier this week.
Among the other title matches set is the first defense for new IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion Andrade El Idolo. The AEW star defeated Tsuji for the title at Wrestling Dontaku and will now defend in a three-way bout against Shota Umino and Drilla Moloney.
Six matches in total have been confirmed for Dominion so far, with five having championship stakes. The show will air live on NJPW World with English commentary.
