NJPW has announced two matches for the Wrestle Grand Slam card at the MetLife Dome on September 4th.
The company will be running back-to-back nights at the former Seibu Dome.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that the second night will include an IWGP Heavyweight Championship match between Shingo Takagi and EVIL along with a three-way match for the IWGP Tag Team Championship and an IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title match between Robbie Eagles and Hiromu Takahashi.
On Wednesday, the company released the first two matches scheduled for the first night at the Dome event.
In a rematch from this past Sunday’s show at the Tokyo Dome, Kazuchika Okada will face Jeff Cobb.
Okada won the match on Sunday after stopping a sunset flip by hooking the legs. The feud continued when Cobb attacked Okada at Tuesday’s show at Korakuen Hall and leading to a rematch.
