Night 2 of NJPW Wrestling Dontaku will be Will Ospreay's first defense of the IWGP World Heavyweight Title

In the main event of Sakura Genesis, Will Ospreay made history by winning the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. In the show's main event, The Commonwealth Kingpin defeated Kota Ibushi for the title and became the second-ever Superstar to hold the unified title.

In doing so, Ospreay also became the first-ever British wrestler to hold NJPW's primary championship. Post-match, the United Empire leader called out his former CHAOS stablemate Kazuchika Okada and stated that he wants to defend the title against The Rainmaker.

However, Takagi's win over Okada from this year's New Japan Cup meant that NJPW granted The Dragon the first shot at new champion Ospreay. Meanwhile, Okada will be challenging for the belt at the Tokyo Dome.
