After his win over Kota Ibushi in last night’s G1 Climax Finals, Hiroshi Tanahashi is currently slated to face Kenny Omega for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship on January 4th in The Tokyo Dome. Tanahashi’s road to Tokyo Dome is not set in stone however. Having lost to Jay White, and tied Kazuchika Okada during block competition, both men can challenge Tanahashi for his Tokyo Dome contract. Omega also has a rocky road to the G1 Climax. Having lost to Tomohiro Ishii, Toru Yano & Kota Ibushi in block competition, all three men have a claim to challenge the IWGP Heavyweight Champion before January 4th.
This is Hiroshi Tanahashi’s third G1 Climax win. He previously won in 2007 and 2015. This will be Tanahashi’s 8th Tokyo Dome main event and his 2nd singles match against Kenny Omega. They previously wrestled for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship in 2016.
Wrestle Kingdom 13 is set to air on January 4th, 2019 from Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan.
