IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion and 2013 Best of the Super Jr. winner Prince Devitt goes to war with New Japan’s biggest heavyweight star Hiroshi Tanahashi at DOMINION 6.22 this month, one of several new matches added to the big Osaka show today. Devitt has thoroughly conquered the junior division and Tanahashi will present a much tougher challenge and perhaps give us a clue into whether Devitt’s future lies in the junior division, heavyweight division, or possibly even both. Nakamura also returns from Mexico without the IWGP Intercontinental Title he lost to La Sombra as he and Ishii face Minoru Suzuki & Shelton Benjamin.

Yes, that’s no misprint… Forever Hooligans will for the sixth time in eight months do battle with Time Splitters over the IWGP Jr. Tag Team Title as Romero & Koslov make their V1 defense against the team they took the belts off in May, KUSHIDA & Shelley. DOMINION 6.22 has also been confirmed as New Japan’s latest iPPV, which you can pre-order for US$25 at this link.
