 New Japan Pro Wrestling announced:

Thank you for supporting New Japan Pro-Wrestling. 

On April 12 in Vancouver Canada at AEW's Dynasty event, Gabe Kidd, who was scheduled to challenge Yota Tsuji for the IWGP Global heavyweight Championship May 3 at Dontaku, sustained an injury to his right arm and will not be able to compete. 

We apologise to fans who were looking forward to seeing Kidd wrestle and appreciate your understanding.

Yota Tsuji will still defend the IWGP Global title May 3 in the main event of Dontaku night one. An announcement will follow when a new challenger has been determined. 

NJPW joins fans in wishing Kidd a speedy, full recovery.
