New Japan Cup 2022 Results (3/27): The Winner Is Crowned

NJPW's New Japan Cup 2022 wrapped up today with the final show taking place at Osaka-jo Hall. In the main event and final round of the New Japan Cup, Zack Sabre Jr. successfully defeated Tetsuya Naito to win this year's tournament.

The final moments of the match saw Naito, ever-resilient, kicking out of the signature penalty kick from Sabre Jr.. When that didn't prove to be enough, he hit his second Zack Driver finisher of the match and got the 1-2-3.

In his victory promo, Sabre Jr. vowed that he will keep growing until he's the best professional wrestler in the world, and also teased possibly going for the IWGP Heavyweight Title. This is his second time as champion, first winning the tournament back in 2018 by defeating Hiroshi Tanahashi in the finals.
