NJPW Returning To The US In 2018

New Japan Pro Wrestling is a well established brand in Japan, and over the last few years the brand has been getting major recognition in the United States as well. The Bullet Club’s rise in popularity has certainly helped NJPW gain the attention of US fans, and back in July NJPW held their first shows in the United States with the G1 Special, which featured a tournament to crown the first IWGP US Champion.

The G1 Special was well received by fans and people within the wrestling community.

WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin met up with IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada at the G1 Special, and Roseanne Barr even took to Twitter to let the world know that she thinks NJPW is “LITTT.”
