WWE & Pro Wrestling NOAH to make ‘major announcement’
An announcement from WWE & Pro Wrestling NOAH is set to be made this weekend.
It was revealed today that WWE & NOAH will be making a “major announcement” at NOAH’s Grand Ship 2024 show in Yokohama, Japan this Sunday (June 16). NOAH wrote on social media:
BREAKING A MAJOR announcement from NOAH & WWE will be made at our Yokohama BUNTAI event on Sunday! A message from a certain wrestler will also be released!
Last month, Yasuaki Okamoto — the new president of CyberFight — stated that one of his goals was to strengthen CyberFight’s relationship with WWE. CyberFight is the parent company of Pro Wrestling NOAH, DDT, and Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling.
WWE is returning to Japan next month for its first events in the country since 2019. There will be three WWE house shows from July 25-27. The events are taking place in Osaka and Tokyo.
Grand Ship 2024 is being headlined by Kaito Kiyomiya defending his GHC Heavyweight Championship against NJPW wrestler Gabe Kidd. The show will air live on Wrestle Universe with English commentary. In Japan, it will stream on Abema. Abema is also WWE’s broadcast partner in Japan.
