NJPW Cancels Two More Upcoming Events Due To Coronavirus Pandemic

NJPW has some unfortunate news for fans holding out hope for shows happening in late March and mid-April. According to the NJPW website, the promotion has to cancel its upcoming shows on March 31 and April 11 due to the ongoing concern of the Coronavirus pandemic as they want to follow along with Japanese Ministry of Health’s recommendations. The company’s full announcement is below:

Acting under the latest recommendations laid out by the Japanese Ministry of Health, New Japan Pro-Wrestling has arrived at the decision to cancel Sakura Genesis, which was scheduled to take place Tuesday March 31 in Ryogoku Sumo Hall, and the Road to Dontaku event that was scheduled to take place in Sagamihara on  Saturday April 11.

We deeply apologise to fans who were looking forward to these events. Ultimately, the health and safety of our fans, wrestlers and staff, as well as society at large is our utmost concern, and we will make announcements about events scheduled after April 11 upon careful monitoring of this developing situation.

We will soon announce refund procedures for the affected events. Programs like the NJPW Together Project will continue to see wrestlers and staff come together to bring the best possible content to fans while we eagerly await the opportunity to entertain live crowds once more.

Thank you for your continued support of New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
