12 Biggest Stories From NJPW's Year-End Events And How They Affect Wrestle Kingdom

New Japan has been expanding their operations across the Pacific Ocean for sometime now. They made their United States debut back in July of 2017 with their G1 Special card. Since then, they've presented three more events on the West Coast with followup events in Long Beach and San Francisco, California.

Now, it's been announced that New Japan will present their first-ever show on the States' East Coast. The short New Beginning USA tour will take place on 30 January and 1 February on opposite ends of the country. The Wednesday show at Los Angeles' Globe Theatre will utilize up-and-coming athletes from New Japan's recently established LA Dojo -- run by former competitor Katsuyori Shibata.

Meanwhile, the Friday event will mark the company's Eastern US debut as New Japan stars will invade the Grady Cole Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. That same day will see the New Beginning in Sapporo, but the promotion has stated that stars not featured on the show in Japan will be headed to Charlotte. So, while the Los Angeles event will be a showcase for Dojo talent, expect the Grady Cole Center to feature at least some of the promotion's major talents.
