During night two of NJPW The New Beginning in Hiroshima, Tetsuya Naito came out after Kota Ibushi successfully defended the IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Championships against SANADA, challenging him to a match for the IC title.
Ibushi accepted the challenge, and the two will now face each other at an unspecified date. The next big shows for NJPW are the two-night Castle Attack event on February 27-28 in Osaka-Jo Hall.
Naito doesn’t want to challenge for both titles…He only wants to challenge for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship!https://t.co/YCKTFJJeYE#njpw #njnbg pic.twitter.com/B5jqOsKiSW
