Tetsuya Naito has suffered an injury on the opening night of the G1. NJPW has reported that he had an injured ankle and currently has no confirmed return date. This has massively changed the G1 tournament. All of his original opponents will gain the 2 points, but all will still be wrestling on the night in single matches that aren’t part of the G1. This is very sad news because Naito was one of the fans favourite to win the whole G1. Below are the changes to the matches.
