AJPW News

The full event card is now released for the upcoming Ryogoku show on November 27.

Among the announcements is that Jun Akiyama will be teaming with Kendo Kashin to take on the reunited “GET WILD” in Takao Omori and WRESTLE-1′s Manabu Soya. Kashin originally tried to form a partnership with Akiyama back on the October 9th show, which was Akiyama’s birthday. Though it is now obvious that the veteran has accepted Kashin’s offer as he looks to not give much room to Soya’s return to the All Japan ring. Which the animosity remains from when Soya left and joined W-1 a couple years back.

Then following their fated meeting at the last AJ PHOENIX show on 10/25, Naoya Nomura will be getting a singles match against Takuya Nomura, no relation, but it seems fated between these two as they share the same last name but that they also share they are the same age and also same birthday

Jake Lee and Yuma Aoyagi will be teaming with the highly talented young man from Nagoya Koji Iwamoto as they take on a established wrestler team of Ryoji Sai, Kengo Mashimo, and Konosuke Takeshita. Then lastly DARK NIGHTMARE will be full form as Mitsuya Nagai, Tatsuhito Takaiwa, Takeshi Minamino and the mysterious Black Tiger VII will be taking on the team of Super Tiger, Ryuji Hijikata, Rey Paloma, and Diablo.

The now fully stacked show will feature all five of the All Japan belts in defense with a total of eleven matches throughout the show. Definitely making this a interesting show with so many dynamics to offer throughout the card. The match order is still yet to be determined…
