Wrestle Kingdom 18 Suffers Major Streaming Issues

Wrestle Kingdom 18 will mark the beginning of the WWE WrestleMania season and as is tradition, New Japan Pro Wrestling will provide an amazing night of in-ring action. Unfortunately, international fans are now suffering streaming issues when trying to watch the event on NJPW’s streaming app.

Wrestle Kingdom 18 presented by New Japan Pro Wrestling on January 4 at the Tokyo Dome, promises a lineup of major matches featuring global wrestling stars and multiple title bouts. Wrestle Kingdom 18 has already begun and there’s a lot of things fans can look forward to. After all, fans all over the world are watching the show, which has lead to some streaming problems.

The initial experience with the New Japan World Roku app was somewhat problematic for quite a few fans. For many people, there were issues related to connectivity, and initially, the English language channel featured Japanese commentary.

Many fans complained that the show show wouldn’t start at first and kept logging them out. When it did start, fans noticed that only Japanese audio played. However, the English audio feed became operational during the pre-show match and the hope is that such issues don’t crop up again.

Regardless of such issues, Wrestle Kingdom 18 will have a ton of action from bell to bell, so we’ll have to wait and see how each and every match turns out.
