NJPW has announced that the company is set to return to the UK, with huge shows planned for this autumn in London!

New Japan Pro Wrestling announced the news on social media issuing a post confirming that the company will be holding Royal Quest II on the 1st and 2nd of October at the Crystal Palace Indoor Arena in London, England.

Fans looking for early access to tickets can head to njpwuk.com where they can sign up to the mailing list to be among the first to receive the pre-sale code for the event.

The last time NJPW held a show in the UK was back in August 2019 with their first Royal Quest show in the Copper Box Arena in London. On that occasion, Kazuchika Okada successfully defended his IWGP Heavyweight Championship against Minoru Suzuki in the main event while Hiroshi Tanahashi unseated Zack Sabre Jr. as the RevPro Undisputed British Heavyweight Champion.

English fans will be hoping that local boy Will Ospreay will be in action at the event. Ospreay is currently part of the tournament in AEW to crown that company’s first-ever Trios Champions. There could be possible AEW representation at Royal Quest II as FTR are the current IWGP Tag Team Champions.
