About Wrestle Kingdom 17
SPOILERS AHEAD
AXS TV’s presentation of Wrestle Kingdom 17 covers night 1 of the event, which took place on Jan. 4, 2023. The first night of AXS TV’s Wrestle Kingdom 17 coverage saw Kenny Omega defeat Will Ospreay for the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship in a thrilling 30+ minute bout. This week’s coverage will revolve around Night 1’s main event, which saw Kazuchika Okada reclaim the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship from “Switchblade” Jay White.
There’s no word yet on whether we’ll see other matches from night 1, including Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Ren Narita for the NJPW Television Championship, Hiromu Takahashi vs. Taiji Ishimori vs. El Desperado vs. Master Wato for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship, Bishamon vs. FTR for the IWGP Tag Team Championship, and Kairi vs. Tam Nakano for the IWGP Women’s Championship. The last match is of global wrestling importance because, following Kairi’s victory, it was revealed that former WWE women’s champion Sasha Banks joined NJPW under the alias Mercedes Mone.
Night 2 of Wrestle Kingdom 17 will air on Jan. 21 overseas, and we’ll likely see matches from this event take place on the nights of Jan. 26, Feb. 2, and Feb. 9.
