From 2006 to 2007, RO'Z competed for All Japan Pro Wrestling - but in Japan (at least post-1990s), the delineations between promotions aren't enforced as strictly as they are in the U.S. Companies, even major ones, often work together, and that meant that RO'Z got to compete at Wrestle Kingdom 1 in an All Japan versus New Japan tag team match.

Wrestle Kingdom is New Japan Pro Wrestling's annual tradition - a show held on January 4 at the Tokyo Dome, the largest and most esteemed venue for Japanese pro wrestling. Though the first Wrestle Kingdom was held in 2007, NJPW has been holding an annual Tokyo Dome show on January 4 since 1992.

In any case, at Wrestle Kingdom 1, RO'Z teamed up with fellow Voodoo Murders members Suwama, Taru, and Giant Bernard (Tensai/A-Train) to take on the team of Riki Choshu, Manabu Nakanishi, Takashi Iizuka, and Naofumi Yamamoto (Yoshi Tatsu). The Voodoo Murders were victorious in their cross-promotional outing.
