Ryohei Oiwa Claims Victory at NJPW G1 Climax 36

Ryohei Oiwa emerged victorious against Yuya Uemura in the final of New Japan Pro Wrestling's G1 Climax tournament, held on August 16 at Ryogoku Sumo Hall in Tokyo.

The match lasted over 35 minutes, with both competitors showcasing their skills. Oiwa, who had previously defeated Callum Newman in the semifinals, managed to secure the win by forcing Uemura to tap out with a Headlock.

Following his victory, Oiwa expressed gratitude to the audience and his TMDK stablemates. He is now set to challenge for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at the King of Pro Wrestling event on October 12, a departure from the traditional January Wrestle Kingdom challenge.
