NJPW is on the road to Wrestle Kingdom 18 following Saturday's Power Struggle event in Osaka. 

Will Ospreay retained the IWGP United Kingdom/United States Championship in the show's main event with a victory over Shota Umino and was confronted by Jon Moxley after the match in a tease for a Wrestle Kingdom bout. Ospreay and Moxley were then laid out by David Finlay who proceeded to destroy the US and UK title belts. In post-show comments, Ospreay stated that he wants Moxley and Finlay in a triple threat match at Wrestle Kingdom and hinted at the return of the IWGP Intercontinental Championship for the bout. Moxley defeated Great-O-Khan earlier in today's card.

In the show's semi-main, Hiromu Takahashi retained the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship over Taiji Ishimori. He then laid out a challenge to El Desperado for a title bout at Wrestle Kingdom. Desperado and Hiromu have become something of career rivals with five matches rated four stars or higher by Dave Meltzer since 2018. Hiromu will have held the Junior title for a full year in his current reign if he holds the title until Wrestle Kingdom on January 4.

Elsewhere on the show, Bryan Danielson issued a challenge to Kazuchika Okada for Wrestle Kingdom, which Okada quickly accepted. 

The IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team title match for Wrestle Kingdom 18 is also set following Saturday's show, with Bullet Club War Dogs (Clark Connors & Drilla Moloney) set to defend against the winners of the Super Junior Tag League tournament finals at Power Struggle, United Empire's Catch 2/2 (TJP & Francesco Akira). 

NJPW will likely officially announce the Intercontinental title match, the Junior Tag title match, Danielson vs. Okada, and the Junior Heavyweight title match in the coming days, but here is the tentative lineup for the card as it stands now:
