Participants set for the KOPW Championship match.
New Japan Pro-Wrestling introduced a physical KOPW Championship belt and the first holder of that title will be determined at New Year Dash on January 5th.
During the Wrestle Kingdom 17 Kickoff show, the New Japan Ranbo took place to determine the four talents that would be moving on to New Year’s Dash to compete for the belt. Those talents are Shingo Takagi, SHO, Toru Yano and RevPro Undisputed British Heavyweight Champion Great-O-Khan.
Outside of the KOPW Title match, the remainder of the card for New Year Dash is a mystery and will not be known until wrestlers make their entrances.
