Browsing: Great-O-Khan

After another encounter with Great-O-Khan led to a loss for his team on December 11th, Empire assaulted Tanahashi’s leg, much like they did during WTL 2020, leading to the Wrestle Kingdom 15 match announcement where Great-O-Khan will wrestle Hiroshi Tanahashi during Night One on January 4th.

Hiroshi Tanahashi is synonymous with the international growth of NJPW due to his presence in the marquee scene since 2007 when first won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship in a tournament match to decide a new champion against Giant Bernard on July 17, 2006. 

A win for either team would move them to 4-2, placing them in good standing within the WTL 2020 table as the tournament heads to its final stretch. Cobb/O-Khan got the early jump on their opponents, opposing the physical nature of the tag team as they took the early advantage.
