New Markets For Latest Additions To Wrestle Kingdom 15 Night 2 Card

The oddsmakers from Kambi have published markets for matches that have been confirmed for tomorrow's second night of NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 15.

Before the official start of today's event, Bad Luck Fale, Bushi, Chase Owens and Toru Yano were the four finalists in the twenty-one man New Japan Rambo. Their 'win' means they'll square off in a four-way match on tomorrow's card where the victor will become the provisional holder of the King of Pro Wrestling 2021 Trophy.

2020 winner, Yano, is the betting favourite to win the match. He's 4/6. Bad Luck Fale is a second favourite at 6/4 while Bushi and Chase Owens follow at 6/1 and 8/1 respectively.

The Wrestling Observer star rating over/under for this contest has been set at one-and-three-quarter stars.

Another winner from today, who will progress to another key match tomorrow is Hiromu Takahashi. He will challenge Taiiji Ishimori for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.

As of the time of writing, the champ is 7/4 and the challenger is 2/5.

The star rating line for Ishimori .vs. Takahashi is four-and-a-half stars.

In today's main event. Kota Ibushi defeated Tetsuya Naito to become IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Champion. Going into today's event, Kambi had a market in which customers could gamble on who they believed would be the title holder at the end of the two nights. The market has now been adjusted with Naito no longer a runner.

The reason why this market existed is because Jay White, who won the contract to challenge the champion at Wrestle Kingdom from G1 Climax winner - Ibushi, chose the January 5th event for his title shot.

Ibushi is a 2/7 favourite to retain while White is 9/4. 

When the market was initially published - on November 14th - both men were available at 13/10 each while today's loser was 43/20.

An Observer over/under has been created for the confirmed match-up. It has a line of four-and-three-quarters.
