TNA's World Title, Tag Titles, and X Division Title will be defended in Japan at the co-promoted show with Wrestle-1 on March 2, W-1 announced on Friday.

To set up the title matches, Wrestle-1 will have "playoff matches" on February 15 to determine the contenders for the titles.

W-1 wants to set up Seiya Sanada challenging Austin Aries for the X Division Title, but there will still be a qualifying match.

Meanwhile, a four-wrestler mini-tournament has been set up to determine the TNA Title challenger and a tag match will determine the Tag Title challengers.

Interestingly, TNA's list of wrestlers appearing in Japan does not include current TNA tag champions Robbie E. & Jessie. The possibilities are the duo is added later, TNA switches the titles on the European Tour, or there is no Tag Title match in Japan.

TNA will be taping the Mar. 2 show for a "One Night Only" PPV. In Japan, the event will air on G+ TV.
