A high-stakes challenge for championship gold has been set for the NJPW x AEW: Wrestle Dynasty event.
Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara successfully retained their titles in a brutal bullrope match at Friday’s ROH Final Battle. Following their victory, members of the Bullet Club House of Torture, SHO and Yoshinobu Kanemaru, issued a challenge via a pre-taped video, calling out Rhodes and Guevara for a title match at Wrestle Dynasty. The champions later responded, accepting the challenge and promising to defend their titles against the faction.
The NJPW x AEW: Wrestle Dynasty pay-per-view is set for January 5, 2025, at the iconic Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan. The updated card for the event now includes this highly anticipated championship showdown. Stay tuned for more updates and match announcements leading up to the event.
