What the Dominion lineup means for NJPW

With five championships already set to be defended, Dominion is shaping up as one of NJPW's most important cards of the early summer, especially after Callum Newman and Yota Tsuji were confirmed for the IWGP Heavyweight title match. The concentration of title matches also gives NJPW room to reshape multiple divisions in one night, not just the world title picture.

The Andrade, Umino and Moloney three-way is especially notable because it puts one of the company's top singles championships into a multi-man match, while Takeshita vs. SANADA adds another high-profile singles bout to the card.
