From NJPW.com:
Nine days after Wrestle Kingdom and his second showdown with Bryan Danielson, how will Kazuchika Okada start his 2024 campaign in earnest? With his time as a full time NJPW wrestler nearing its end Will Ospreay heads to San Jose, but will he do so with new championship gold? Will current champions of NEVER, NJPW World TV and NJPW STRONG divisions still be in possession of their hardware come January 13? See these names and more this January!
Battle in the Valley will be NJPW's next show in the United States. The last NJPW of USA show was Lonestar Shootout on November 10 in Garland, Texas. The card was headlined by Takagi retaining the NEVER Openweight title over Trent Beretta.
The upcoming AEW Continental Classic could factor into what matches are booked for San Jose as well. Kingston's NJPW Strong Openweight Championship will be part of a Triple Crown title held by the winner of the tournament come that time.
The wrestlers announced today all currently hold championships in NJPW. Takagi holds the NEVER Openweight belt, Kingston is the NJPW Strong Openweight Champion, Giulia the NJPW Strong Women's Champion, ELP & Hikuleo the NJPW Strong Tag Team Champions, Ospreay the IWGP US/UK Champion, Okada is one-third of the NEVER Six-Man Champions, and Zack Sabre Jr. holds the NJPW World TV title. NJPW does not announce title matches before previously advertised title matches have taken place.
