WWE Releases HUGE Cards For Tokyo Japan Shows
Matches set for July 1 & 2's epic live events.
In February, WWE announced that on July 1st and 2nd, the company would once again host shows at Tokyo, Japan's Ryogoku Kokugikan (Sumo Hall). Tickets for both shows went on sale in April and sold out immediately. Now, WWE has released the cards for the events.
On July 1, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns will defend his title against AJ Styles and Kevin Owens in a Triple Threat Match. Other bouts include WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day defending against The Usos, The Vaudevillains, and Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson in a Fatal Four-Way Match; WWE Women's Champions Charlotte defending against Natalya; NXT Women's Champion Asuka defending against Becky Lynch; John Cena versus Chris Jericho; Bray Wyatt versus Shinsuke Nakamura; and Titus O'Neal versus Baron Corbin.
Headlining on July 2 is WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns defending against AJ Styles and Chris Jericho in a Triple Threat. The rest of the show features WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day defending against The Vaudevillains; WWE Women's Champion Charlotte defending against Becky Lynch; NXT Women's Champion Asuka defending against Natalya; John Cena versus Kevin Owens; Bray Wyatt versus Shinsuke Nakamura; The Usos versus Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson; and Dolph Ziggler versus Baron Corbin.
Last year, WWE aired one of its Ryoguku Kokugikan shows on its network under the name "The Beast in the East." So far, there's been no announcement regarding whether or not either of these shows will be broadcast.
