Day 2 of the NJPW G1 Special in USA takes place on Sunday, July 2 from Los Angeles, CA, and here’s all the info you need to watch

With so much anticipation for the NJPW G1 Special in USA, they delivered on the hype on the first night in Los Angeles. The main event between Kazuchika Okada and Cody was stellar. Meanwhile, all four of the quarterfinal tournament matches were the bomb too. That brings us to Day 2 of the G1 Special in USA, which will take place on Sunday night.

At the forefront of the second night will be the conclusion to the tournament to determine the first-ever IWGP US Heavyweight Champion. Kenny Omega and Jay Lethal will face off in one semifinal, while Tomohiro Ishii and Zack Sabre Jr. go to war in the other. The winners face to crown the champ, and it should be amazing.

What’s more, Hiroshi Tanahashi and Billy Gunn will square off for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship at the G1 Special on Sunday. That will be joined on the card by another meeting between The Young Bucks and Roppongi Vice as they latter challenge for the Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championships.
