NJPW announces Royal Quest III for London

NJPW is returning to London in October for Royal Quest III.

As announced early Monday, Royal Quest III is set for a return to the Copper Box arena on Saturday, October 14 in London. 

IWGP World Heavyweight Champion SANADA is being advertised for the event, as is G1 Climax 33 winner Tetsuya Naito. 

The first Royal Quest was held in August 2019, also at the Copper Box. Kazuchika Okada defended the IWGP Heavyweight Championship against Minoru Suzuki in that show’s main event. 

After a two-year absence, NJPW returned to London in October 2022 with a two-night Royal Quest event, this time held at the Crystal Palace. FTR retaining the IWGP Tag Team titles against Aussie Open headlined night one in 2022, while Tetsuya Naito defeated Zack Sabre Jr. in an IWGP US title number one contender’s match on the second night. 

A ticket presale for the event begins on August 29. No general on-sale date has been announced as of yet.

Royal Quest III is likely to air on NJPW World as a pay-per-view event.
