Omega Vs Devitt Confirmed For NJPW Main Event!

August 30, 2010

In a battle that could be more epic than an X Vs Sigma showdown, Kenny Omega will be representing DDT on the 3rd September when he challenges Prince Devitt for the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title in the main event of New Japan’s Kotetsu Yamamoto Memorial Show. Omega called out Devitt right after beating the Irishman’s tag team partner Ryusuke Taguchi at the most recent DDT Korakuen Hall show. Devitt accepted his challenge and it didn’t take long for the NJPW office to confirm the match.

Edit: The news is all about Omega today as he took part in SMASH.7 over at Shinjuku FACE. He defeated SMASH’s own resident Canadian, Mentallo with the Croyt’s Wrath.

A brief note on a few outside adventures featuring DDT related talent. Hikaru Sato is currently taking part in All Japan Pro Wrestling for their annual Jr. Heavyweight League. He is already onto a good start in the competition, pinning Hiroshi Yamato in their bout with a German Suplex to win 2 points in Block A. That show was held in Korakuen Hall and took place on the same day as DDT’s Peter Pan show in Sumo Hall. Sato’s next match takes place today in Saitama and his opponent is the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight ChampionKaz Hayashi.

Kenny Omega will make his debut for Tajiri’s SMASH promotion on the 30th August in Shinjuku FACE. He will take on another Canadian wrestler, Mentallo, who has been a familiar face (er… mask) to SMASH fans since the promotion’s first show back in March.

Finally KO-D Tag Team Champion, Munenori Sawa will make a trip back to the US in September for the fifth EVOLVE show. He will be in the main event taking on Bryan Danielson in a match I am really excited to see take place.
