Believe it or not, NJPW has different weight classes as well, drawing a similarity to boxing, kickboxing, MMA, etc. Usually, up-and-comers have their own title known as the NEVER Openweight title.

There have been plenty of superstars including Kenny Omega who were previously juniors but moved up to the heavyweight division.
