Full NJPW Battle In The Valley Card Revealed

The full card for NJPW's Battle in the Valley show has been announced - including the first match of Mercedes Moné's post-WWE career. Moné - formerly known as Sasha Banks - is set to take on fellow former WWE Superstar KAIRI. The event will take place on Saturday, February 18 in San Jose, California.

KAIRI, known to WWE fans as Kairi Sane (and previously as Kairi Hojo), is the current and inaugural IWGP Women's Champion, and is set to make her first defence.

The match looks set to occur in the penultimate spot on the card, preceding a main event match for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship between champion Kazuchika Okada and challenger Hiroshi Tanahashi. The pair have been historic rivals over the past decade in NJPW, with many considering Tanahashi to have passed the torch to Okada as the central star (or "ace") of the promotion.

Along with Okada vs. Tanahashi and Moné vs. KAIRI, the rest of the card is as follows:

• Zack Sabre Jr. (c) vs. Clark Connors - NJPW World Television Championship
• Tom Lawlor vs. Homicide - Filthy Rules Fight
• Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) (c) vs. West Coast Wrecking Crew (Jorel Nelson and Royce Isaacs) - STRONG Openweight Tag Team Championships
