The signature event for New Japan Pro-Wrestling is set to take place this weekend as Wrestle Kingdom 14 will take over the Tokyo Dome once again. Wrestle Kingdom is one of the most anticipated events every year in professional wrestling to begin with, but this year it gets even bigger as the show will take place over two nights from Jan. 4-5 to help kick off a new decade in 2020.
In the main event of Night 1, Kota Ibushi will look to cash in his G1 Climax tournament win as he faces IWGP heavyweight champion Kazuchika Okada. In the co-main event, IWGP intercontinental champion Jay White puts his title on the line against Tetsuya Naito. The winners of those bouts will face each other with both titles on the line in the main event of Night 2. (The losers will also square off.) In all, ten title matches take place over the two nights, as well as the retirement bout of wrestling legend Jyushin Thunder Liger.
