WWE is sending an NXT Superstar to compete for the All Japan Pro Wrestling Triple Crown Championship.
AJPW recently posted a video to their X account with AJPW President Tsuyoki Fukuda revealing that a mystery NXT Superstar will challenge for the Triple Crown Title at the promotion’s New Year Giant Series 2024.
Fukuda says: “You have good superstar for us? What? Submission assassin? Killer catch style? Great. Thank you. Thank you. My pleasure. Appreciate your support this time. Please say thanks to your boss in WWE.”
The Triple Crown Championship is currently held by Katsuhiko Nakajima. However, Nakajima is defending the title against Kento Miyahara at AJPW’s December 31 event.
AJPW’s New Year Giant Series 2024 will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan on Tuesday, January 3.
