At a press conference earlier today, New Japan and Pro Wrestling NOAH announced the card for the WRESTLE KINGDOM in YOKOHAMA crossover event on 1/21 at Yokohama Arena. All matches will be New Japan vs. NOAH matches, in particular 5 single matches consisting of LIJ vs. Kongo. The event will air live as a PPV on New Japan World (New Japan’s English website says no subscription requires) and will be available on demand to all subscribers 1 week later (1/28). On the NOAH side, it will be a PPV on ABEMA for around $26-27 US but may be available only in Japan. No word yet on when/if it may be available on WRESTLE UNIVERSE but at the earliest it would likely be 1 week after the event.
