The mixed tag matches aren’t “true” mixed matches because the men can only face the men, and the women only face the women. No intergender action, there must be a tag on both sides.
The event will be available worldwide as a PPV on New Japan World. The pre-show will begin on 11/20 at 2 AM ET/11 PM PT with the main show at midnight PT/3 AM ET.
UPDATE: The PPV is now available for pre-order. It will be in English and will cost 3990 yen, or about $27 US. There is conflicting information regarding if a New Japan World subscription is required (New Japan’s English website says no, but the PPV purchase page says yes). If you buy the PPV you get the live stream on 11/20 at midnight PT/3 AM ET and unlimited replays until 11/27 at 7 AM PT/10 AM ET. The replay will also be available to all New Japan World subscribers without additional fees at a later date.
