Tetsuya Naito defeated The Cleaner, Kenny Omega to win the G1 Climax Tournament. The leader of Los Ingobernables De Japon got the three count on the leader of the Bullet Club after hitting him with his finisher, Destino.

This is Naito’s second G1 win, the first being in 2013. This means that Naito will compete for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at next year’s WrestleKingdom.

The aftermath of the match saw Naito being awarded the G1 Trophy. He also went on to cut a promo after the ceremony before he made his exit to end the blockbuster event.

NJPW IWGP United States Championship

At tonight’s ROH War Of The Worlds, officials from both Ring Of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling were on hand to unveil the new IWGP United States Championship. The title and the announcement that there would be a tournament to crown the new champion at the upcoming G1 Special Shows in Los Angeles on July 1st and July 2nd came at the beginning of tonight’s PPV.

While not much is known about the title and the details of the tournament at this time, I am pretty sure this is something that is in the vein of the NEVER Openweight Title: a NJPW specific title especially designed and implemented for the upcoming US expansion plans that New Japan has put into place.

When the G1 Special shows happen in about 6 weeks, I fully expect ROH talent to have a heavy presence in the tournament, and more than likely, one of the ROH contracted wrestlers will win the 2-day tournament. I can’t really see NJPW putting this new US Title on a Japanese talent, because that would kind of defeat the purpose.

We will have more information on this new title, the tournament to crown the inaugural champion, and the whole situation as it becomes available.
