Over the last few months the promotion has been asking fans to vote on which match will main event the show - the G1 Climax Winner Tetsuya Naito challenging for the IWGP Heavyweight title against Kazuchika Okada OR Hiroshi Tanahashi challenging Shinsuke Nakamura for the IWGP Intercontinental title.
The voting went pretty much as expected and the IWGP Intercontinental Championship match will go on last, which suggests that Naito isn't as over as New Japan would have hoped after the push they've given him.
Either way, this is an absolutely stacked card and will almost certainly turn out to be one of the best shows of the year, if not THE best.
Here's the announced card:
IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championship
{4-Way Match}
The Young Bucks(c) vs. The Time Splitters vs. The Forever Hooliganz vs. Taichi & TAKA Michinoku
