The second installment of the festival this year.
This past March, New Japan Pro-Wrestling presented the All Star Junior Festival, which was produced by IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Hiromu Takahashi. Over 15 promotions were represented on the show.
Today, NJPW held their Collision in Philadelphia event and after Hiromu and Tetsuya Naito scored a win in their match, Rocky Romero came out to the ring. Romero asked for a video package to be played which was the announcement of All Star Junior Festival 2 taking place on August 19th in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the 2300 Arena.
Yes, it's official!
