COVID-19 protocols force changes to Sunday, Monday NJPW shows
NJPW has announced that four wrestlers are off Sunday’s event in Chiba and Monday’s Korakuen Hall show due to medical protocols.
Hirooki Goto, YOSHI-HASHI, Taiji Ishimori, and Jado have been removed from the shows either because they presented with fevers, or had close contact with someone who presented with a fever.
