New Japan Pro Wrestling crowned a new IWGP World Heavyweight Champion during today’s NJPW Sakura Genesis 2021 event as Will Ospreay, the winner of the 2021 New Japan Cup, defeated Kota Ibushi in the main event of the show to become the new Champion.
Post-match, Ospreay called out Kazuchika Okada to issue a challenge, however both men were interrupted by Shingo Takagi who stated that he wanted a title opportunity against Ospreay, which Ospreay agreed to, noting that Shingo will be first in line and that if he remains the Champion, then he will defend the title against Kazuchika Okada.
