Karl Anderson is still being advertised for NJPW’s Battle Autumn event.
Karl Anderson defending the NEVER Openweight Championship against Hikuleo is still advertised for the card despite Anderson returning to WWE on Monday Night RAW.
Also already announced for November 5, Karl Anderson will defend the NEVER Openweight Championship gold against Hikuleo. The Machine Gun will go wherever the bright lights will lead him, and that certainly rings true when it comes to November’s big Osaka event. Might it also be true of Wrestle Kingdom and a NEVER Championship defence on the grandest stage? Or will Hikuleo seize the moment and his first career championship?
