New Japan Pro Wrestling has released the full card for this Friday’s Best of the Super Junior Finals when the company runs Nippon Budokan.
Prior to the announcement of the card, NJPW alerted the audience that Will Ospreay will be unable to perform on the show as he recovers from a kidney infection, which forced Ospreay over several cards in the U.S. last weekend and the recent RevPro event.
Karl Anderson will also miss the show due to a positive COVID-19 test, and Tanga Loa has sustained a knee injury and is off of the card.
The finals of the Best of the Super Juniors tournament will see Hiromu Takahashi take on El Desperado after both won their respective blocks this past Tuesday in Toyama.
Takahashi is a three-time winner of the tournament with wins in 2018, 2020, and 2021.
