Kota Ibushi won the 2015 New Japan Cup today in Hiroshima, Japan to guarantee his spot in the main event of the April 5th New Japan Pro Wrestling Invasion Attack pay-per-view.
There was some speculation that if Ibushi won this year’s tournament he would choose to set up a rematch with Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, following their five-star bout at Wrestle Kingdom 9. However, following his victory over Hirooki Goto in the Cup Finals, it was announced that Ibushi will face AJ Styles at Invasion Attack for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.
