~ Only 1 more day of official block matches remain! Looking at how things are set up, Devitt will be moving on tot he finals in the #1 position in the A Block. The #2 spot looks to be contested between Ricochet and Alex Shelley.
B Block is semi-open, but 2 matches completely stood out before the tournament started and now each of these guys are all in the contention spot. Tiger Mask vs. Taguchi … and KUSHIDA vs. Omega. These 2 matches are two high profile to not notice and I suspect our B Block semi-finalists to come out of this.

In the wake of this abrupt change, Keiji Mutoh and Masayuki Uchida are no longer affiliated with All Japan. the former president, Uchida, was reportedly released a week before the new change happened, and Mutoh has left on his own merit.

[NJPW News] New Japan announced matches for the next big iPPV on June 22nd and Shinsuke Nakamura heads to CMLL.
First up, Nakamura will be heading to compete in CMLL while the BOSJ XX is taking prominence during this next tour. He will be heading to Mexico next week on May 11th and will remain there for the next month until June 12th.
Then New Japan officially announced 4 matches for the upcoming DOMINION iPPV on June 22nd.
Okada pulled out his first successful defense against Minoru Suzuki this past weekend and already has his next challenger to be against Togi Makabe. Okada previously faced Makabe in last years G1 Climax, which saw Okada victorious, and this match is poised to be a revenge match for Makabe.
Following the 4WAY IWGP Tag Championship match on 5.3, TenKoji have once again emerged as the champions. This definitely was not the way that the former champions in “K.E.S.” (Archer & Smith) wanted to have it settled as they were not even involved in the finish in anyway. You have to know that K.E.S. will be looking to reclaim their lost belts, but with yet another multi-team match that leaves a whole other dynamic to the match.
Due to the double knochout finish from the 5.3 show, New Japan has once again placed Goto and Shibata in a single confrontation at DOMINION 6.22. Nothing was settled between the two in the last match and could this next showdown be yet a replay of this last bout, or will someone finally be standing in the end?
Lastly, Tetsuya Naito announced his return to the ring on 5.3 to be on June 22nd. Naito has spent the last 7-8 months sidelined due to a knee injury and will be going against his former tag team partner and current rival in Yujiro Takahashi. Their last meeting saw Yujiro blatantly attack Naito’s knee and that lead to Naito being forced out to undergo surgery on his knee. Will Naito be able to exact some much needed revenge or will his time away from the ring prove to be too much against “Mr. R Rated”?
~ Be sure to check out the link below for the information regarding the BOSJ XX which begins later this month.
