NJPW held their Power Struggle event today, and it was a show which featured a big main event with implications for Wrestle Kingdom next year. In the biggest bout on the card, Will Ospreay would scrape through a brutal back and forth with Shota Umino, and will now go on to defend his IWGP UK Title against Jon Moxley at Wrestle Kingdom. There may be a hurdle on the way though, as he was attacked after the bell by David Finlay, who set his intentions on the belt.
Elsewhere Bryan Danielson issued a challenge to Kazuchika Okada, setting the stage for a major rematch at Wrestle Kingdom 18.
