New Japan Pro Wrestling Dominion 6.9 in Osaka-Jo Hall results: Okada vs. Jericho, Naito vs. Ibushi, and more

New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) are back again and we’re onto our last big show before the G1 Climax. After this, it’s just a month of Kizuna Road shows before we start the grind to Wrestle Kingdom 13. Like all of New Japan’s other major events, the show will be broadcast worldwide on New Japan's streaming service, NJPW World.

We'll have the standard match recommendation post later for those of us who can’t be up in the wee hours watching wrestling, but if you can, why not watch along with the best pro wrestling community on the internet?

Today’s action takes place in Osaka's Osaka-Jo Hall, kicking off at a ripe 3AM Eastern / 12AM Pacific, and features a slam-bang double main event of Kazuchika Okada defending his IWGP Heavyweight Championship against Chris Jericho and Kota Ibushi putting the IWGP Intercontinental Championship on the line against former champ Tetsuya Naito.

Plus Dragon Lee defends the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship against Best of the Super Jr. 26 winner Will Ospreay, newly crowned IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion Jon Moxley gets to give Young Lion Shota Umino a beating, Shingo Takagi wrestles his first match as an openweight against the leader of Bread Club, Satoshi Kojima, and more!

Post-match Jericho attacks Okada and beats him down with a steel chair! He follows it up with the Judas Effect before setting the chair up and taking a seat above the fallen Rainmaker briefly. Horse-collaring Okada with the chair, he rams him into the post and goes to powerbomb him into a table set up at ringside...

HIROSHI TANAHASHI MAKES THE SAVE! Y2J gets on the mic and says he’s the greatest of all time, even in the bullshit country of Japan and vows that he’ll see Okada later before wishing him, “Happy championship, bitch!”

Enjoy the show!
