Two matches have been added to UJPW's inaugural event.
As previously announced, All Together, the first show held United Japan Pro-Wrestling, will be held on May 6, and a portion of the proceeds will go to the victims of the Noto earthquake. The show will feature stars from NJPW, NOAH, DDT, Dragon Gate, BJPW, and STARDOM.
NJPW announced that two more matches have been confirmed. Kosei Fujita will face Kenoh, and SANADA and KAI will take on Zack Sabre Jr. and Chris Brookes.
From NJPW:
The first event under the United Japan Pro-Wrestling banner, and with portions of proceeds going to the victimes of the Noto earthquake at the start of the year, all eyes are on All Together at the Nippon Budokan and a special co-operative venture between six different promotions. Two more matches are now set for the card, which is continuing to shape up!
Kosei Fujita will take on Kenoh in singles action. Fujita is the Youngest Punk in TMDK, a faction that has quite a history in Pro-Wrestling NOAH, and Kenoh has certainly adopted an anti-authoritarian punk stance in NOAH over the years. In a huge singles opportunity, will Fujita be able to show up a former GHC Heavyweight Champion?
Also set for All Together, SANADA and KAI of DRAGONGATE face Zack Sabre Jr. and DDT’s Chris Brookes. Present and former history connects these two teams together; a recent DDT event saw Sabre and Brookes long two British wrestling ships passing in the Japanese night, share the same ring for the first time in six years when they teamed together to a thirty minute draw opposite MAO and Yuki Ueno. The two having got on well- very well apparently, they tag again tonight opposite one of ZSJ’s closest frenemies of recent years in SANADA. SANADA’s partner in KAI represents DRAGONGATE now, but was a former rival of SANADA’s way back in the Wrestle-1 days, so reunions all round in this affair. Perfect for All Together!
The announced card is as follows.
All Together: United Japan Pro-Wrestling Inauguration & Noto Earthquake Benefit Event (5/6)
- Hiroshi Tanahashi, Naomichi Marufuji & Sanshiro Takagi vs. HOUSE OF TORTURE (EVIL, Yujiro Takahashi & Ren Narita)
