The second round of the New Japan Cup begins today in Ehime. 

SANADA vs. YOSHI-HASHI is the headline tournament match, with the winner advancing to the final eight and the quarterfinals round. 

SANADA was one of four wrestlers to receive a first round bye in this year's New Japan Cup, so Monday's contest will be his first match of the tournament. YOSHI-HASHI defeated KENTA in an opening round contest back on March 6 to advance. 

Jack Perry faces Toru Yano in today's other New Japan Cup tournament bout.

Perry defeated Shota Umino in his NJPW in-ring debut on the March 6 show to advance to the second round, while Yano beat Yujiro Takahashi by countout on the 6th to advance. 

The winners of today's tournament matches will meet on March 16 in the quarterfinals at Dolphin's Arena in Aichi.

Our coverage of today's show begins at 6 am. Eastern time.
