Some short notice changes to the card for this Saturday's big show:
Yuji Okabayashi, one half of the world tag champions. Has been forced to vacate the title because of dislocating his shoulder at a Big Japan show. His partner Sekimoto will instead bring in Mr. BJW, Ryuji Ito as his partner to now face Wild Burning (Akiyama and Omori) for the now vacant belts.
In other news, Toshiaki Kawada, one of the four pillars of All Japan's epic 90s era will make a rare appearance at Saturday's show. Kawada has basically been away from wrestling entirely since Misawa's death in 2009, having quietly walked off into the sunset to run a restaurant instead. The last time he was seen at a show was for Akira Taue's retirement in 2013. Even opting to no show his mentor, Genichiro Tenryu's retirement in 2015. He will sign autographs and be part of the celebration of Omori and Akiyama's 25th anniversary as wrestlers.
