Full NJPW x STARDOM Historic X-Over Card Revealed
The card for NJPW x STARDOM’s Historic X-Over has been finalized.
Historic X-Over gets its name from the fact that it will be the first-ever full cross-promotional wrestling show with equal representation from both New Japan and STARDOM. The event takes place on November 20th.
