The next event is tomorrow. Live streaming on DRAGONGATE NETWORK will begin TONIGHT at 9 PM PT/midnight ET. I may try and do live results but this is the same time as a live Stardom event so it may not work.
Injury Report: Right after this was posted I learned there have been last-minute changes to tomorrow due to a BxB Hulk injury today. Something on the right side but unclear exactly what at ths time. He was to have teamed with Kota Minoura, Ben-K & Ryu Fuda to face Shachihoko BOY, Takashi Yoshida, Problem Dragon & Punch Tominaga. Daiki Yanagiuchi is the replacement.
