NJPW announces first international show of 2026
NJPW has announced their first international event of 2026.
During Monday morning’s King of Pro Wrestling, it was announced that they will be heading to the Cure Insurance Arena in Trenton, New Jersey on February 27, 2026 for The New Beginning USA.
This will be the first NJPW event in the United States since this past May, when Resurgence took place at the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California. The company has only run three events in the United States this year compared to six in 2024 and eight in 2023.
Key matches from Resurgence had AZM defeating Mercedes Mone and Mina Shirakawa to win the Strong Women’s Championship, Hirooki Goto and Zack Sabre Jr. going to a time limit draw for the IWGP World Championship, and Konosuke Takeshita defeating ELP to retain the NEVER title.
New Japan Strong’s titles have been defended in other promotions throughout the year. United Empire (TJP and Templario) recently defended the titles in CMLL. Saya Kamitani is the current Strong Women’s Champion, while Tomohiro Ishii remains the Strong Openweight Champion.
