Preview:
NJPW Road to THE NEW BEGINNING on January 20, 2026, continues New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s critical early-year tour as the promotion builds momentum toward its first major events of 2026. Following the opening stops of the tour, this show is expected to deepen ongoing rivalries, clarify championship directions, and further shape the post–Wrestle Kingdom landscape.
With New Year Dash repercussions still fresh, this event serves as another proving ground for wrestlers looking to define their path in the new season. Champions aim to reinforce their dominance, while challengers look to separate themselves through standout performances and decisive moments. The IWGP title scenes—across heavyweight, junior heavyweight, and tag team divisions—remain central as tensions steadily rise.
Faction warfare is also expected to play a major role. Road to THE NEW BEGINNING shows traditionally rely on multi-man tag matches to advance feuds, tease future singles bouts, and highlight the internal dynamics of NJPW’s stables. These encounters often lay the foundation for major clashes at The New Beginning events later in the tour.
The junior heavyweight division should once again bring speed and intensity, while heavyweight competitors continue resetting rivalries and testing new alliances. With momentum at a premium early in the year, every match carries added significance for wrestlers aiming to make 2026 their breakout year.
As NJPW marches toward its February showcases, the January 20 edition promises another hard-hitting night rooted in tradition, competition, and long-term storytelling.
