El Phantasmo is off this weekend’s New Japan Soul events due to an injury.
The NJPW Television Champion will miss Saturday’s event in Yamagata and Sunday’s card in Fukushima.
ELP sustained a right knee injury earlier this week, which takes him out of the main event of both shows. He was set to team with Hirooki Goto & Shota Umino against Zack Sabre Jr., Ryohei Oiwa & Hartley Jackson on both nights.
On Saturday, Goto & Umino will now team with Oleg Boltin, and then Tomoaki Honma will fill in for Sunday’s six-man tag match.
The current tour runs until July 6, and then, the G1 Climax begins on July 19.
Saturday, June 21, in Yamagata at 5 a.m. ET:
