You can officially pencil in a new featured bout for the upcoming NJPW Road To Destruction Tour.
The tour kicks off on September 8, 2023, and on the show at Korakuen Hall on September 30, NJPW legend Kazuchika Okada will team up with Lio Rush to take on the duo of IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Hiromu Takahashi and G1 Climax 33 Tournament winner and fellow legend Tetsuya Naito.
