Will Ospreay and Tatsumi Fujinami are both off this weekend’s NJPW Wrestling Dontaku event due to COVID-19.
The company confirmed this morning that as a result of PCR testing, both are off the card that will take place May 1 at the Fukuoka Dome. As a result, a mystery opponent will replace Fujinami in the opening tag match, and Tomohiro Ishii will now challenge Hiroshi Tanahashi for the IWGP United States Championship.
“As a result of PCR testing, it has been determined that Tatsumi Fujinami and Will Ospreay are both positive for COVID-19, and will not be able to wrestle on Sunday May 1 at Wrestling Dontaku," NJPW wrote on their website. "New Japan Pro-Wrestling deeply apologizes to fans who were looking forward to seeing Fujinami and Ospreay wrestle. We appreciate your understanding, and join fans in wishing a speedy recovery and return.”
