New Japan Pro Wrestling has announced that KUSHIDA’s continued recovery from hand, foot, and mouth disease has forced two changes to the Declaration of Power lineup as he was supposed to wrestle IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Taiji Ishimori.
Ishimori will now take on Master Wato in a non-title match. Wato had been set for eight-man tag action on the show, but that match has now been changed to a six-man, with Hiroshi Tanahashi, Hikuleo, and Ryusuke Taguchi facing House of Torture’s EVIL, Yujiro Takahashi, and SHO.
