New Japan Pro Wrestling held the Best of the Super Juniors 29 Finals this morning at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, Japan. The event was newsworthy for multiple reasons. First is that Hiromu Takahashi won the tournament for his third year in a row, defeating El Desperado.

The show also featured the return of SANADA, who challenged Juice Robinson to a match for the IWGP US Heavyweight Championship. Robinson was forced to miss the event due to appendicitis. His match with Tomoaki Honma was changed and Honma faced Ryohei Oiwa instead.

KENTA also made his return at the event.

Finally, the show also featured Impact Wrestling X-Division champion Ace Austin joining Bullet Club.
