Naito vs. Kenta
KENTA (formerly Hideo Itami in WWE) will be the first person to challenge Tetsuya Naito for his recently won IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Championships, NJPW announced.
Naito won both titles at Wrestle Kingdom 14 this weekend.
Following Naito’s win against Kazuchika Okada for the Heavyweight title on night two of Wrestle Kingdom, Naito was attacked by Kenta, spoiling his celebration. Kenta then attacked Naito again at NJPW New Year Dash the following night.
