IWGPインターコンチネンタル王座
The second match for Wrestle Kingdom 10 was set up on November 7, 2015, after Shinsuke Nakamura had retained the IWGP Intercontinental Championship against Karl Anderson at Power Struggle. Before the match, Nakamura had announced he would defend his title at the Tokyo Dome in an open challenge and asked for his challenger to come forward at Power Struggle. Following the match, Anderson's Bullet Club stablemate A.J. Styles entered the ring and made a challenge for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship, which was promptly accepted by Nakamura. The title match was officially announced in a press conference two days later. Styles was pulled from NJPW's end-of-the-year World Tag League due to a back injury, but it was announced that he would be returning at Wrestle Kingdom 10. This would mark the first singles match between Nakamura and Styles with the two having previously only met in tag team matches in August 2008 and November 2015.
