All Japan Pro Wrestling announced that Cyrus was pulled from this year’s Champion Carnival, which begins April 12 at Korakuen Hall.
AJPW said in a statement that it had confirmed Cyrus’s participation and verified his ability to obtain a visa. The promotion was allegedly unable to contact him this week and learned that Cyrus canceled his flight when trying to verify his flight information.
Due to its inability to contact him, AJPW decided to pull Cyrus from the Champion Carnival, with his replacement set to be named on Thursday.
This is the second straight year Cyrus will miss the Champion Carnival, as he was unable to compete last year due to health issues after being announced as a participant.
