Hair vs. Hair Match Set For NJPW New Beginning In Sapporo

A hair vs. hair match is set for NJPW’s New Beginning In Sapporo event. As NJPW announced, Yota Tsuji issued a hair vs. hair challenge to Yuya Uemura following the main event of Monday’s Road to the New Beginning event. That match saw LIJ get a win over Just 5 Guys.

Uemura accepted the challenge for the match, which is set for the February 24th show in Sapporo. The updated lineup for the show is:

* IWGP World Heavyweight Championship Match: Tetsuya Naito vs. SANADA
* Hair vs. Hair Match: Yuya Uemura vs. Yota Tsuji
* Shingo Takagi vs. Taichi
* Taka Michinoku vs. BUSHI
* DOUKI vs. Hiromu Takahashi
* Ryusuke Taguchi & Nic Nemeth vs. Gedo & David Finlay
* Toru Yano & Tomoya vs. TBA

A sensational gauntlet main event last night saw Yota Tsuji defeat Yuya Uemura, before challenging Uemura to a Hair versus Hair match!

And Tsuji declared he was coming for Naito's IWGP World Heavyweight gold!#njnbg report: https://t.co/uiAjzP4Il9
