The President of New Japan Pro Wrestling says an announcement regarding the future of NJPW Strong is coming soon. 

Takami Ohbari revealed earlier this month that the weekly show on NJPW World will be “rebuilt” in 2023. He then announced Saturday evening that there will be an update on Strong coming “within a few days.” 

Ohbari wrote:

Thank you for watching and supporting NJPW STRONG over the years. It has adapted to environmental changes since its inception and will soon be reborn in a new form.

We’ll make an announcement regarding #njpwSTRONG within a few days.

Previously, Ohbari stated that the future of NJPW Strong would put focus on “quantity over quality.” He wrote, “We started it when the strict lockdown was forced, so we focused obviously on ‘continuity’. Fortunately, fan and we are about to overcome the pandemic. We should now focus on ‘quality’ rather than quantity.”

The fourth episode from the NJPW Nemesis tapings held in December aired on last night’s show. The promotion doesn’t host another event in the United States until next month’s Battle in the Valley on February 18, 2023, from San Jose.
