Main event set for NJPW-AJPW joint show
The main event is set for next month’s joint NJPW-AJPW show at Korakuen Hall, celebrating the venue’s 60th anniversary.
In the headliner, NJPW’s Hiroshi Tanahashi will team with AJPW’s Kento Miyahara against NJPW’s SANADA and AJPW’s Jake Lee. Tanahashi and Miyahara teaming pairs the promotion’s long-time aces in a dream match.
The remainder of the April 16 card will also feature talent from both promotions teaming and facing off against one another. The day prior, a Joshi festival will be held as the Korakuen Hall 60th Birthday Festival commences.
