Between the hours of 8:30PM on January 10 2024 and 12 noon on January 11 JST, Tama Tonga’s profile was erroneously erased from the NJPW profile page, and EVIL was incorrectly listed as the NEVER Openweight Champion. 

NJPW has come to learn that these alterations were made by staff members under extreme duress at the command of EVIL. After reviewing video evidence, these alterations have been amended.

We apologise to fans, and particularly to Tama Tonga for the confusion and distress caused.
