As we previously reported here on eWn, YOH has been pulled from the NJPW ‘Best of the Super Juniors’ tournament due to a recent shoulder injury.
Fellow NJPW wrestler KUSHIDA is volunteering to replace YOH in the tournament.
KUSHIDA said, “I’m here in Haneda airport. Just got back from Australia and about to head to the UK. But I just heard that with YOH’s injury, Best of the Super Jr. 31 needs a little help. So I just cleared my schedule for May and KUSHIDA will spend the month in Japan. Sorry to butt in, guys, but I’ll come from missing the cut right the way to the trophy. See you all soon.”
