The Wrestling Observer is reporting the Shinsuke Nakamura has been stripped of The IWGP Intercontinental Championship. It was originally thought that he was going to lose it to Kenny Omega. Now Omega will face a mystery man at New Beginnings in in Niigata on February 14th.

Had to happen sooner or later, since he is going to WWE after all.

It's too bad he's not dropping the belt. He would have only had to stay in New Japan for a few more weeks.

But it really is New Japan's fault for the way they handle contracts. But they never been raided by a promotion ever so this is a first time thing for them.
