KENTA IWGP US title shot defense to headline NJPW Detonation

NJPW has announced the full lineups for the Detonation editions of NJPW Strong, airing on December 11th and December 18th. 

KENTA will defend his IWGP United States right to challenge contract against Brody King in the main event of night two. KENTA has successfully defended the right to challenge briefcase on three prior occasions this year, defeating Hiroshi Tanahashi, Jeff Cobb and David Finlay.
