New Japan is aggressively restocking their junior heavyweight division. They picked up some really excellent choices that are really going to spice things up.
G1 Climax 2026

I would not be surprised if come Chicago and then when they fly back to Japan for the remainder of G1, I would not be surprised if both Shota and Yuya are the typical start cold and warm up as the tournament goes.
New Japan Talent Signings
