In All Japan Pro Wrestling’s recent show, known AJPW Junior star Rising HAYATO announced the next matches for the Shinkiba 10/5 card. All Japan is preparing a show to showcase the youngest talent in the scene today, and one of those talents is none other than DDT Pro Wrestling’s MAO. Representing 37KAMIINA, MAO will face the team of HAYATO and Atsuki Aoyagi, who will also face the other members of the group in Yuki Ueno and Toy Kojima. MAO will be wrestling alongside Rukiya, one of many young prospects inside the dramatic dream.

As we said before, these apparent collaborations between DDT and AJPW are increasing as time passes. What will happen in the future is something we don’t know, but the animosity between some wrestlers at both companies is something to keep an eye on as we venture into this interpromotional scenario.
