Title Switches Hands At "Road To Tokyo Dome", Cody Rhodes NJPW WK12 Match Update, Updated WK12 Card

By Joshua Gagnon

- Above is the opening video for NJPW's Road to Tokyo Dome.

- NJPW just finished up running their two Road to Tokyo Dome shows, which included BUSHI, SANADA, and EVIL defending the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship against Tanga Loa, Tama Tonga, and Bad Luck Fale. The challengers were able to pick up the win and win the titles via pinfall. Also, while it hasn't been officially announced yet, it looks like we're going to get Minoru Suzuki vs. Hirooki Goto in a Hair vs. Hair match for the NEVER Openweight Championship at Wrestle Kingdom 12. Going back earlier in the month, Goto offered his hair for a chance at the title – after being denied initially – Suzuki accepted the challenge after getting pinned by Goto at Road to Tokyo Dome.
