AJ Styles Wins IWGP World Heavyweight Championship

AJ Styles won the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship today when he defeated the current champion Kazuchika Okada at New Japan Pro Wrestling's "Wrestling Dontaku" PPV event that aired this morning.

Styles won when Yujiro Takahashi, a stablemate in CHAOS with Okada, turned on Okada and joined the Bullet Club. The Bullet Club distracted the referee, and Takahashi ran in and hit his finisher on Okada. AJ then hit a brainbuster and then the Styles Clash to pick up the victory.
