This is going to cause a lot of groans among some New Japan fans-the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship is now VACANT. Previous champions Jeff Cobb & Callum Newman have vacated the titles because Cobb is leaving the promotion at his request. He’s been rumored to be heading to WWE. Cobb’s final NJPW match will be Saturday against Hiroshi Tanahashi. Newman and Great-O-Khan will try to leep the titles on 4/26 when they face…cue the groans…Bishamon (Hirooki Goto & YOSHI-HASHI). However, Newman also gets to face Goto for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship at WRESTLING DONTAKU on 5/4 (whoever wins will defend on 5/9 in the US).
