New Japan Pro Wrestling brought the New Beginning tour to an end on Thursday. The show was headlined by Kota Ibushi’s second defense of the IWGP Double Gold. The Golden Star soundly defeated SANADA in a rematch from this past year’s G1 Climax Finals.

After the match, Tetsuya Naito came down to the ring to challenge the Double Champion, but only for the IWGP Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship. Mad with power, Kota Ibushi as talked about combining the double gold into one belt, which would seemingly do away with the IC Title. Naito, who spent most of his career trying to destroy that belt, can’t bear to see it gone. Naito will try and free the IC Title from the clutches of Kota Ibushi at Castle Attack at the end of the month.
