New Japan Cup Finals Confirmed, Wrestling Dontaku 2018 Poster

– On March 16, Hiroshi Tanahashi became the first man to advance to the finals of this year’s New Japan Cup tournament. He defeated Juice Robinson inside Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan in semi-finals action. Today, we found out who will be joining him.

In the other semi-finals match, SANADA took on Zack Sabre Jr. In the end, it was Sabre Jr. who punched his ticket to the finals. He will now face Tanahashi on March 21 to determine who will go on to Sakura Genesis on April 1. The winner of the New Japan Cup can go after any singles title of his choosing.
