NJPW Announces Five Title Matches for Dominion 2026 at Osaka-jo Hall
New Japan Pro-Wrestling has confirmed the opening slate for Dominion 2026, set for June 14 at Osaka-jo Hall, with Callum Newman defending the IWGP Heavyweight Championship against Yota Tsuji in the main event. The match is a rematch of Sakura Genesis where Newman first captured the title, and Tsuji earned this return shot after pinning Newman in a tag match earlier in the week.
Six matches have been announced so far, five of them for gold, including Andrade El Idolo’s first defense of the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship in a three-way against Shota Umino and Drilla Moloney, IWGP Tag Team Champions Yuto-Ice & OSKAR vs. Great-O-Khan & Henare, NEVER Openweight Champion Ren Narita vs. Aaron Wolf, and NJPW World Television Champion Konosuke Takeshita vs. SANADA, plus a non-title tag pitting Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa against Yuya Uemura & Taichi. The show will air live on NJPW World with English commentary as the promotion heads into its Best of the Super Juniors tour beginning May 14.

Oleg Boltin Undergoes Successful Elbow Surgery
New Japan Pro-Wrestling announced in early May that Oleg Boltin suffered an elbow injury and would be sidelined with a return date to be determined. The injury forced the rising star out of action as NJPW and fans awaited further updates on his recovery timeline.
Boltin took to X to reveal he has undergone surgery for the injury and thanked the medical team and those who supported him through the process. The surgery was reported successful, but no definitive timetable for his return to the ring has been announced.
