Not a great start for AJPW. Big NOAH show is a little bit of a let down. NXT in the new year is the same NXT.
AJPW AJPW continued their new year tradition of starting the year with two shows from Korakuen Hall. The first show on the 2nd January is usually the lesser of the two shows and this year was no different with not a single match of any real quality showing that the promotion despite its momentum still…

NOAH The New Year 2022 – 1st January 2022
NOAH began the year 2022 with a big show at the Nippon Budokan in front of a good crowd for the pandemic of 3,181.
