NJPW’s upcoming Wrestle Kingdom 17 pay-per-view event takes place on January 4th at the Tokyo Dome. A second show will be held on January 21st at the Yokohama Arena.
On “The Sessions” with Renee Paquette podcast, NJPW alumnus Rocky Romero discussed the upcoming event while sporting a Sasha Banks t-shirt. Romero said,
“This Tokyo Dome is going to be insane. We have a WWE wrestler in Karl Anderson. Kenny Omega’s an AEW wrestler. We’ve got STARDOM wrestlers on the show.”
According to several media reports, Banks is set to debut at the Tokyo Dome and has reportedly struck a $100,000 per appearance deal with NJPW. Romero addressed the possibility of Sasha’s potential surprise appearance by saying,
“… I’ve heard a lot of rumors, but I cannot confirm nor deny at this moment. Fingers crossed. You never know what could happen. Definitely will be some surprises at the Tokyo Dome.”
Romero also touched on the possibility of AJ Styles making his entrance alongside Karl Anderson. The former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion said,
“[lonnnnnng pause]… anything is possible, Renee, anything is possible.”
