Will Ospreay and Callum Newman are set to challenge for the IWGP Tag Team Titles at NJPW Power Struggle, a match that was set up during NJPW King of Pro-Wrestling 2026 at Kobe World Hall in Kobe, Japan.

The road to that title match began earlier in the show when United Empire, consisting of Ospreay, Great-O-Khan, and HENARE, defended the NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Titles against Unbound Co’s Jeff Cobb, OSKAR, and Yuto-Ice. According to Fightful, Ospreay appeared to have scored a visual pinfall on Yuto-Ice during the match, but the referee’s count came late, allowing Unbound Co to retain control and ultimately walk away with the titles. F4W Online confirmed that United Empire lost the NEVER Openweight Six Man Tag Team Championship to the trio of Cobb, OSKAR, and Yuto-Ice at the event.

Following the title change, a promo took place that set up Ospreay for a singles or tag appearance at Power Struggle, and Fightful reports that it is Ospreay and Callum Newman who will now challenge for the IWGP Tag Team Titles at that event. The move puts Newman alongside Ospreay in pursuit of tag team gold, though the sources do not specify who currently holds the IWGP Tag Team Titles or who else may be positioned in the match.

Elsewhere on the King of Pro-Wrestling 2026 card, Unbound Co’s Shingo Takagi and Daiki Nagai defeated Goto Revolutionary Army’s Hirooki Goto and Tatsuya Matsumoto in tag team action, according to TPWW. Following that match, the lights went out and a surprise video featuring Jon Moxley aired, per TPWW’s event notes. The exact content and implications of the Moxley video were not detailed in the available reporting.

The show also saw an announcement for Tanahashi Jam 2, scheduled for November 19, according to TPWW, though further details of that event were not included in the supplied reporting.

With the NEVER Openweight Six Man Tag Team Titles now in the hands of Jeff Cobb, OSKAR, and Yuto-Ice, and Ospreay redirected toward the IWGP Tag Team Titles alongside Newman, NJPW’s title picture heading into Power Struggle has shifted significantly across multiple championships. Further details on the full Power Struggle card, including who Ospreay and Newman will face for the IWGP Tag Team Titles, were not confirmed in the available source material.
