MLW’s Hammerstone set for Pro Wrestling NOAH tournament

MLW’s newly-formed working relationship with Pro Wrestling NOAH will see Alexander Hammerstone make his NOAH debut this summer.

Hammerstone has been announced for NOAH’s N-1 Victory tournament, which was formerly called the Global League. Hammerstone will be in the A Block with Naomichi Marufuji, Takashi Sugiura, Go Shiozaki, and Masa Kitamiya.

Katsuhiko Nakajima, Shuhei Taniguchi, Kenoh, Masaaki Mochizuki, and El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. will be in the B Block of the round-robin tournament. Each wrestler will face everyone else in their block one time.

The N-1 Victory tournament will begin on August 18 and conclude with the winner of the A Block facing the winner of the B Block on September 16. The winner of the tournament will challenge for Kaito Kiyomiya’s GHC Heavyweight Championship on November 2.

Hammerstone is MLW’s National Openweight Champion and part of the Dynasty stable with MJF, Richard Holliday, and Aria Blake.

MLW announced their alliance with Pro Wrestling NOAH last week, with the partnership including a talent-exchange agreement and content collaboration.
