IWGP Global, Jr. Tag title matches set for Soul in Sapporo!
June 16 sees two championship bouts official
Two championship matches have been made official for New Japan Soul in Sapporo’s Hokkai Kita Yell June 16, with a loaded lineup set to kick off the summer in style up north!

David Finlay will defend the IWGP Global heavyweight Championship against the returning SANADA. After his first reign was very quickly cut short by Nic Nemeth, David Finlay had been driven to regain the IWGP Global Championship he said was ‘created for him’, and did indeed become a two time champion at Dontaku. In the wake of his victory, Finlay threw out the name that was ‘the only small blemish’ to his past year, that being SANADA. Having lost to SANADA in the 2023 New Japan Cup finals, Finlay was driven to score revenge, but a health concern saw to it that they wouldn’t meet in the 2024 tournament.
Now Finlay finally gets his rematch with SANADA. For the Just Five Guys member meanwhile some new hunger for gold has been building. SANADA has said his status as a former World Champion will bring much needed prestige to the young title. In the same venue where Finlay’s first reign was cut short, will lightning strike twice, or will the Rebel get his Gloabl title reign properly on track?
Also confirmed for Soul, TMDK challenge IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Drilla Moloney and Clark Connors. The War Dogs continued to rampage through Best of the Super Jr 31, and if it wasn’t results they were getting, it was headlines through a destructive wave that even saw more than one referee in its path. Yet for all of Connors’ explosivity, and the complete establishment of Moloney’s Drilla Killa as the most powerful finishing move in professional wrestling today, TMDK seem to have their number.
Following on from a win in Super Jr. Tag League for Robbie Eagles and Kosei Fujita in a mere 3:33, the ‘Ichiban Sweet Boys’ each achieved singles success over Moloney and Connors respectively in the Best of the Super Jr. tournament. Then in six man action on semifinal night, the result was a TMDK win again; even a post match beat down from the champions was quickly defused. For the champions, what started as an irritating distraction has now become a source of full blown rage, but will TMDK secure tag god in Sapporo?
