Summary

NJPW has finalized the six-match lineup for the April 24 Road To Wrestling Dontaku event at Texport Imabari in Ehime, Japan. The show is scheduled as the third night of the tour and features a full slate of multi-man matches built around several of the promotion's established factions.

  • Unbound Company (Shingo Takagi, Yuto-Ice, OSKAR and Daiki Nagai) vs. United Empire (Callum Newman, Jake Lee, Francesco Akira and Zane Jay)

Road To Wrestling Dontaku takes shape

The April 24 lineup keeps the tour focused on faction-based combinations, with HOUSE OF TORTURE, United Empire, T.M.D.K. and Unbound Company all featured across the card. That gives the show a clear tour-stop identity while continuing to cycle a large portion of the NJPW roster through the Wrestling Dontaku build.

It also puts several notable names in prominent multi-man spots, including Shota Umino, Yuya Uemura, Shingo Takagi and Hirooki Goto. With the tour still unfolding, this kind of card structure helps NJPW continue presenting rival units and key roster pieces before the bigger Wrestling Dontaku events arrive.
