NJPW has confirmed five championship matches for Dominion at Osaka-jo Hall on June 14, headlined by Callum Newman defending the IWGP Heavyweight Championship against Yota Tsuji.

The main event is a rematch from Sakura Genesis. Tsuji secured a championship opportunity after pinning Newman in a tag team contest earlier this week.

The promotion held a public press conference ahead of the event. Tsuji stated that he needed to win the championship to carry the company forward. Newman praised the challenger before attacking him with a low blow, issuing a warning: “I’ll make you famous, but we might be thrown off TV afterward because I’m going to batter you.”

NEVER Openweight Champion Ren Narita will defend his title against Aaron Wolf. Narita attacked Wolf with a judo black belt during the media event. Narita demanded that Wolf put his own judo black belt on the line during their encounter. Wolf accepted the stipulation.

Andrade El Idolo will make his first defense of the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship. He faces Shota Umino and Drilla Moloney in a three-way match. Additionally, Konosuke Takeshita defends the NJPW World Television Championship against SANADA.

NJPW World will broadcast the event live with English commentary. The remainder of the card will likely take shape during the Best of the Super Juniors tour, which begins on May 14.
