Karl Anderson Still Expected To Fulfil Additional Dates In NJPW Outside Of 11/5

There are still plans for Karl Anderson to wrestle in NJPW, despite the tension between the two parties.

Despite the company threatening to strip Anderson of his NEVER Openweight Championship, with Anderson saying he won’t be vacating the title, there are still plans for Anderson to work with NJPW.

Fightful Select have provided the latest update on this saga earlier today.

Fightful is told there still are and always have been active plans for Karl Anderson to compete in NJPW. We haven’t heard an update on the title itself, but that NJPW does expect Anderson to fulfill additional dates, which WWE was fine with.

Beyond that, we’re told that New Japan has been aware that Anderson and Gallows were heading to WWE as far back as August, and that’s when the deal was hammered out.. Those familiar with the situation say that things are fine between Anderson, NJPW and WWE.

Time will tell what other dates Anderson will fulfil, as it appears that he will not be appearing at the 11th of November Battle Autumn event as planned.
