With three months left until New Japan Pro-Wrestling wraps up their calendar year with the next Wrestle Kingdom event, the company announced that the Best of the Super Juniors and World Tag League tournaments will be happening this year. Both tournaments are happening concurrently and kick off on November 15th, shortly after the ‘Power Struggle’ event on November 7th.

The finals for both shows are happening on December 12th at the Nippon Budokan. Best of the Super Juniors normally kicks off in May while World Tag League kicks off in November. Both events were in question due to the Coronavirus pandemic but New Japan has resumed their operations with fans in arenas.
