[NJPW] Championship Vacated

Archive

WrestlingObserver.com has reported that Brock Lesnar and New Japan management had a big falling out regarding Monday’s match with Hiroshi Tanahashi in Sapporo, leading to the former WWE Undisputed Champion quitting the promotion. The IWGP Heavyweight Title is now vacant, and the new champion will be determined by a tournament, as NJPW is offering refunds for Monday’s show.
