Storylines

[edit]

The New Beginning in Osaka featured professional wrestling matches that involves different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[2]

On the pre-show at Wrestle Kingdom 19, Hirooki Goto won the New Japan Ranbo earning him a IWGP World Heavyweight Championship match. IWGP World Heavyweight champion Zack Sabre Jr. would successfully defend the title in the main event against Shota Umino and on the following night at Wrestle Dynasty against Ricochet.[3][4] On January 7, 2025, the title match between Sabre and Goto was set for The New Beginning in Osaka.
