SANADA Injured In NJPW Match, Pulled From New Japan Cup Tour

Posted By: Guy Incognito on Mar 18, 2022

New Japan Pro Wrestling has released the following announcement:

In last night’s main event in Shizuoka against Will Ospreay, SANADA sustained an injury that led to the match being stopped. On medical evaluation at a nearby hospital, it was determined that SANADA has sustained a fractured left orbital bone.

As a result, SANADA will not compete in tonight’s scheduled six man tag team match in Korakuen Hall, and will at minimum miss the remainder of the new japan Cup tour.

We apologise to fans who were looking forward to seeing SANADA wrestle, and appreciate your understanding.

There is currently no timetable for SANADA’s return to action. New Japan Pro-Wrestling joins fans in wishing SANADA the best in his recovery.

The following change has been made to tonight’s card:

5th Match

BUSHI, SANADA & Tetsuya Naito vs Will Ospreay, Jeff Cobb & Great-O-Khan->
