New Japan Pro Wrestling makes its long-anticipated return from the coronavirus shutdown on June 15th, with the 2020 New Japan Cup set to begin on June 16.
The annual tournament will conclude at this year’s Dominion in Osaka-Jo Hall event, where the #NJCup winner will be decided on Night 1 (July 11) before challenging IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental champion Tetsuya Naito on Night 2 (July 12).
