With Sakura Genesis in the books, New Japan announced complete cards for the next batch of shows, Wrestling Toyonokuni and Wrestling Dontaku.

In doing so, they confirmed my suspicion that we had maybe a few too many post-match challenges and attacks yesterday, because they made so many title matches they had to move two of them to a “Road to” show before the big ones!

Indeed, all of the challenges have been answered, with Bad Luck Fale getting another shot in his long-running feud with IWGP Heayvweight Champion Kazuchika Okada at Dontaku. At Toyonokuni, Juice Robinson’s amazing rise to prominence and excellence continues with a shot at Tetsuya Naito’s IWGP Intercontinental Championship (in the main event, no less! Get ‘em, Juice!) and Ricochet’s challenge for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship is answered by the former Kamaitachi, who I’m sure is quite confident in overcoming the Future of Flight after how thoroughly he murked KUSHIDA.

And here our challenges spill over to the 4/27 Road to Wrestling Dontaku show, where Minoru Suzuki will have a shot at Hirooki Goto’s NEVER Openweight Championship in what is sure to be a hard-hitting affair, and Roppongi Vice will get a chance to reclaim their IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship from the Suzuki-gun team that took them at the anniversary show last month.

Of course, there are big matches on these shows that weren’t set up last night (or at least not as directly), with the once and future Ace Hiroshi Tanahashi getting another crack at EVIL to make up for being taken out of the first round of New Japan Cup by the King of Darkness at Toyonokuni.

And at Dontaku, we have a fatal four-way of big additions, with Cody Rhodes returning to a New Japan ring to take on David Finlay, Taguchi Japan defending their six-man titles against Los Ingobernables, a three-way match for the IWGP Tag Team Championship, and, most excitingly, another NJC rematch as Kenny Omega and Tomohiro Ishii go at it again.
