KUSHIDA Pulled From Upcoming NJPW Event

KUSHIDA is a true veteran in the pro wrestling world as he has been working as a pro wrestler since 2005. He made a name for himself in NJPW and won multiple titles all around the world. KUSHIDA was recently pulled from tomorrow’s New Japan event.

KUSHIDA, who was slated to compete in a live, non-televised event on September 21 in Kumamoto, will skip the competition out of prudence. According to PWInsider.com, KUSHIDA was taken out of the Kagoshima event on Saturday due to a fever.

KUSHIDA was removed from Saturday’s event in Kagoshima after presenting with a fever. After testing negative for COVID-19, he underwent consultation with doctors who diagnosed him with a suspected skin disease. 

We apologise to fans who were looking forward to seeing KUSHIDA wrestle, and appreciate your understanding.

KUSHIDA attended consultation with medical professionals who gave him a probable skin condition diagnosis after his COVID-19 test result came back negative. KUSHIDA recently had a lengthy interview with the official NJPW website where he discussed a variety of subjects. He spoke about his choice to quit WWE and join NJPW during the conversation.

KUSHIDA said he has signed a contract that will last the rest of his wrestling life. It sounds like he will be a regular for NJPW Strong and possibly even make appearances for AEW. We wish him a speedy recovery.
