HENARE

It's been eight year since HENARE had his debut in New Japan Pro Wrestling as a young lion. Since then the man from New Zealand had a dream of winning a championship on the cerulean blue mat and he got yet another crack at a title. At New Japan Soul he faced the current NEVER Openweight Champion Shingo Takagi, these two already faced each other just a week prior to this match, which ended in a Double KO. Sapporo was ready for the big showdown and to the delight of many, HENARE defeated Shingo Takagi on Sunday to lift the NEVER Openweight to win his first ever NJPW title. With an achievement like that, HENARE will be our newest Superstar Of The Week! Well done!
