Pay-Per-View on sale now
The huge news story of the weekend was the announcement of NJPW facing NOAH at Wrestle Kingdom 16 in Yokohama Arena on January 8, 2022. This monumental cross over event will be a fitting way to bring the three days of Wrestle Kingdom to a close with some dream matchups.
Anticipation is at fever pitch, and the initial allotment of tickets for Yokohama Arena sold out quickly, with more sections to be released. Many will be watching from home, and that can be done through ABEMA Pay Per View.
The PPV is available now at a price of 3960 Yen (approx. 35 USD, 25 GBP, 31 Euro), and a portion of all proceeds from the event will be donated to the Japanese Red-Cross Society.
