Injury Report: Crippled Champions Carnival Winner (Updated x2)
All-Japan announced potentially major injury news today-Champions Carnival winner Shotaro Ashino, who is scheduled to face Yuji Nagata for the Triple Crown in a few weeks, is in danger of losing his chance because of injury suffered in the Finals. Left ulna fracture. Out indefinitely. The title match is in just over 2 weeks so status is uncertain. This may also cause Ashino to miss the Hana Kimura Memorial Event on 5/23.
More as it becomes available.
UPDATE: An UNOFFICIAL French-language All-Japan Twitter account is saying Ashino is off 5/29, when the Triple Crown match will happen. T-Hawk, who lost to Ashino in the Champions Carnival Finals, is the replacement.
Official confirmation to come.
UPDATE 2: On 5/12 (Japan time), All-Japan announced a determination match between Ryuki Honda & T-Hawk for the 5/29 title match will happen on 5/18 at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo. The winner will face Nagata for the Triple Crown on 5/29 while the loser will face Yuma Anzai on 5/29.
News: First All Together Again Matches Announced
The first matches for All Together Again, the joint New Japan/All-Japan/NOAH charity fundraiser event in June, were announced today. 3 trios matches are set for the card which are as follows:
YOSHI-HASHI, Hirooki Goto & Tomohiro Ishii vs. Masa Kitamiya, Daiki Inaba & Yoshiki Inamura
BUSHI, Shingo Takagi & Tetsuya Naito vs. Yuji Nagata, Suwama & Yuma Anzai
Kaito Kiyomiya, Kento Miyahara & Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Kazuchika Okada, Yuma Aoyagi & Kenoh
I can see that last match being the main event, and it’s probably going to be Kiyomiya & Okada fighting amongst themselves constantly and a match maybe happening around it given their history.
More matches TBA. The event is scheduled for 6/9 at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo and will be available as a PPV on New Japan World.
