Hikuleo has been crowned the new NJPW Strong Openweight Champion.
Hikuleo defeated KENTA to win the NJPW Strong Openweight Title at today’s NJPW Wrestling Dontaku event.
Hikuleo is only the fourth person to hold the NJPW Strong Openweight Title, and this is his first reign. On February 18, KENTA began his first reign by defeating Fred Rosser at the NJPW Battle In The Valley. KENTA held the title for 74 days in a row.
Several highlights from today’s title change at the Fukuoka Convention Center in Fukuoka, Japan, are included below:
