WWE will be returning to Tokyo for a pair of shows on June 29 and 30, and the fans in attendance will certainly be getting their money's worth.
That's because according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the card will see Shinsuke Nakamura challenge AJ Styles for the WWE Championship on the first show. Daniel Bryan will also face Big Cass, though it was noted that his opponent could change if the latter is seriously injured. The show also includes The Bar vs. The New Day, while Carmella will put her SmackDown Women's Championship on the line against Charlotte.
But the show on June 30 may just be even better. Styles will defend his WWE Championship against Nakamura, Bryan and Samoa Joe. Carmella is also being advertised to face both Asuka and Charlotte as she tries to defend her SmackDown Women's title against arguably the two biggest female talents on the roster.
The show's enticement doesn't end there. The Bludgeon Brothers are also going to have to defend their SmackDown Tag Team Championships against The Bar, The New Day and Gallows & Anderson.
Of course, it would be a surprise if any championships changed hands on an on-televised event. Styles will be defending his WWE title against Nakamura at the June 17 Money in the Bank pay-per-view. Carmella will put her championship on the line against Asuka, while Gallows & Anderson are challenging The Bludgeon Brothers for their SmackDown Tag Team Titles.
So it's possible some of these championships change hands leading up to the show in Tokyo. But it's safe to assume the title holders following Money in the Bank will be retaining them in Tokyo.
Nonetheless, the folks in attendance will be seeing some elite talents going up against each other with titles on the line. Whether they change hands or not doesn't matter, so long as the superstars can put on their best performances.
