Minoru Suzuki ‘coming soon’ to Impact Wrestling

Minoru Suzuki is on his way to Impact Wrestling.

In a video package that aired on Thursday’s Impact, highlights from the New Japan Pro Wrestling career of the “The King” aired, followed by a “coming soon” tease.

His debut will mark the first time that Suzuki has ever appeared for the company.

He follows Juice Robinson, David Finlay, Jay White, Satoshi Kojima and El Phantasmo as other New Japan wrestlers who have worked in Impact this year.

Recently, Suzuki has been on a tour in the United States, appearing for Game Changer Wrestling, PWX and West Coast Pro in addition to NJPW Strong.

He first appeared at AEW All Out where he went face-to-face with Jon Moxley. The two had a match on the following Dynamite which then led to Suzuki teaming up with former stablemate Lance Archer to face Moxley and Eddie Kingston in a lights out match on the Grand Slam edition of AEW Rampage a few weeks later.

Suzuki is also scheduled to face Bryan Danielson on Friday’s episode of Rampage.

The 53-year-old has spent the vast majority of his 33-year in-ring career with NJPW. He has won multiple championships in his run with Japan’s top promotion, including reigns with both the IWGP Intercontinental Championship and the NEVER Openweight Championship.
