BREAKING: New Japan 10/10 Card Changes Coming (Updated)

New Japan has just announced a pending change to their major Monday event at Ryogoku Kokugikan-once again KUSHIDA is out. Still recovering from hand, foot and mouth disease and will not be cleared. He was to have faced IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion Taiji Ishimori in a NON-TITLE match. Card changes TBA before the event.

More as it becomes available.

UPDATE: The changes have been announced. Ishimori will now face Master Wato in a NON-TITLE match and, because Wato was scheduled to be in the 3rd match, which was an 8-man tag, that match is now Hiroshi Tanahashi, Hikuleo & Ryusuke Taguchi vs. Sho, Yujiro Takahashi & EVIL. Dick Togo is now off.

AEW Dynamite 10/5/22 Results (Updated)

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite 3rd Anniversary episode from Washington, DC:
MJF beat Wheeler Yuta by submission. Excellent opener.

Darby Allin beat Jay Lethal.

AEW TNT Champion Wardlow beat Brian Cage to retain the title.

Toni Storm, Athena & Willow Nightingale beat Serena Deeb, Jamie Hayter & Penelope Ford. Nightingale pinned Ford after Doctor Bomb.

National Scissoring Day with The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn ultimately was a party crashed at the end by Swerve Strickland. Just skip this entire segment.

Adam Page beat Rush.

Luchasaurus beat Fuego Del Sol. Squash. Jungle Boy attacked with a chair after the match.

Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara beat Daniel Garcia & Bryan Danielson. Guevara pinned Garcia after a Jericho belt shot.

During the show, news broke that the Andrade El Idolo-10 Career vs. Mask Match on Friday’s Rampage is now off. Andrade reportedly was sent home after a backstage fight with Guevara that seemingly was building up on Twitter. Supposedly Guevara threw the first punch. And yet…So for now 10 keeps his mask, and now gets a title shot Friday instead…

Friday on a LIVE Rampage: Varsity Blonds vs. Tony Nese & Josh Woods, Madison Rayne & Skye Blue vs. Tay Melo & Anna Jay.A.S., Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta & Claudio Castagnoli vs. Rush & Private Party and AEW Trios Champions Death Triangle vs. Dark Order for the titles.

After Rampage on the LIVE Battle Of The Belts 4 Special: AEW All-Atlantic Champion Pac vs. Trent Beretta for the title, AEW TBS Champion Jade Cargill vs. Willow Nightingale for the title and ROH Tag Team Champions FTR vs. Gates Of Agony for the titles. I would maybe expect changes because now that’s two title matches for Pac in less than 2 hours.

Next week: O CANADA-AEW’s Canada debut in Toronto! Jungle Boy vs. Luchasaurus, Swerve Strickland vs. Billy Gunn and ROH World Champion Chris Jericho vs. Bryan Danielson for the title.

UPDATE: Regarding Andrade-Guevara, TMZ picked up the story and noted Andrade was the aggressor reportedly punched first and Guevara didn’t fight back, which is why he didn’t get sent home but Andrade did. Andrade reportedly wants out of AEW to possibly return to WWE (top WWE Women’s star Charlotte Flair is his wife) but has several years left on his contract. The question is whether he will be fired or suspended/paid to stay home.

UPDATE: Based on New Japan’s English recap, and combined with the Day 1 report on the Japanese recap, the announced paid attendance for Day 2 was 1966. That’s about 98% normal capacity for the venue so just a few short of a sellout.
