Talk about starting off with a bang. Night 1 of G1 Climax 32 is wasting no time getting to some of the biggest stars in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, including the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, Jay White.
The Catalyst will get a potentially stern early test in the form of Sanada. But an even bigger challenge could await the man White beat for his current title, Kazuchika Okada. He’ll kick off his campaign by facing Jeff Cobb in an A Block match that should serve as the night’s main event in Sapporo.
The C Block will get underway as well, with Hiroshi Tanahashi stepping in against Aaron Henare. And the Billy G.O.A.T. will have his first D Block tournament bout, as Will Ospreay takes part in a sure to be entertaining encounter against El Phantasmo.
The eventual G1 Climax winner could definitely be among the wrestlers in action on the tournament’s first night, which promises to make the 2022 edition of this annual event intriguing. If you can’t stay up late (or wake up early, as the case may be) to tune in, we’ll be adding G1 Climax 32 Night 1 live results as they happen, so you can get up to speed whenever you decide to check in on what went down.
