Andrade El Idolo wins the IWGP Global Heavyweight title

Andrade El Idolo won the IWGP Global Heavyweight title yesterday on night 1 of Wrestling Dontaku in Fukuoka, Japan, defeating Yota Tsuji in the main event of the show.

El Idolo secured the victory after a DDT on the ring post and then hitting his finisher in the ring, winning a title that he wasn’t even supposed to be wrestling for in the first place.

The Mexican star replaced Gabe Kidd in the match, who suffered a shoulder injury at the Dynasty pay-per-view.

This is his first title in New Japan Pro-Wrestling in 13 years, with his last one coming in 2013 under his La Sombra gimmick, winning the IWGP Intercontinental title.
