Kingston was scheduled to face White in a six-man tag team match at NJPW Autumn Action on September 11, but he was pulled from the card when he tested positive for COVID-19. White recently called Kingston out at the Wrestle Kingdom 17 press conference.
Elsewhere on the show, Shingo Takagi and El Phantasmo will in a rematch from Declaration of Power. There, Takagi won the KOPW 2022 “Who’s Your Daddy” Match, so Phantasmo had to call him "Daddy." Phantasmo then dropped Takagi with a low blow and broke the KOPW 2022 Trophy.
The card for NJPW Rumble on 44th Street is below.
