NJPW Satsuma No Kuni Lineup Revealed

A rivalry will be renewed at New Japan Pro-Wrestling's Satsuma no Kuni show on April 29 in Kagoshima.

Two titles will be on the line at the show, including the KOPW 2023 Provisional Title in the main event that will see Shingo Takagi defend the belt against Taichi. The two competitors faced off on multiple occasions in 2022 for the KOPW Title, with Shingo eventually coming out on top in a Last Man Standing Lumberjack Match. 

Aussie Open will also defend the IWGP Tag Team Championships for the first time at Satsuma no Kuni against TMDK's Mikey Nicholls and Shane Haste. Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis defeated Bishamon for the gold at Sakura Genesis and TMDK immediately issued a challenge for a title shot, reminding Aussie Open about their win over them during the 2022 World Tag League.
