A look at the start time for Wrestle Kingdom 10.
New Japan Pro Wrestling’s (NJPW) biggest show of the year has arrived in Wrestle Kingdom 10. For those who watch WWE, this is the Japanese version of WrestleMania. NJPW sells out the Tokyo Dome every year for this Jan. 4 event that features some of the world’s best professional wrestling.
This show will be one that fans will have to get up early for in the United States as the pre-show begins at 2:00 AM ET for Wrestle Kingdom 10 while the matches start at 3:00 AM ET.
Wrestle Kingdom 10 will be worth getting up for though as many of the world’s top wrestlers will be in action. Most notably, there is the main event of Kazuchika Okada vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. Okada will be defending this year, unlike last Jan. when Tanahashi defended against him. They would go on to put on one of the best matches of the year.
The other match to look forward to is Shinsuke Nakamura vs. AJ Styles for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship. This will be the first time these two have wrestled each other in their illustrious careers, so this should be a fun one to watch. Can Nakamura defend his belt against the former TNA star?
