NJPW New Year Dash takes place today from the sold out Sumida City Gymnasium in Tokyo.  Only one match is official for the show, with the rest of the lineup a mystery, a format introduced with last year's event.  The provisional KOPW 2024 title will be on the line in a four-way match featuring the final four from the New Japan Ranbo at yesterday's Wrestle Kingdom 18 event, with Toru Yano, Taiji Ishimori, Great-O-Khan, and YOH set to square off.  Every title match at Wrestle Kingdom 18 featured a new champion crowned, as Tetsuya Naito won the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, David Finlay won the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship, El Desperado won the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship, NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Champions El Phantasmo & Hikuleo won the IWGP Tag Team titles, Tama Tonga won the NEVER Openweight title, Hiroshi Tanahashi captured the NJPW World TV title, and Catch 2/2's TJP & Francesco Akira won the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team titles.
