Wrestling Observer Radio with Dave Meltzer and myself, guest co-host Garrett Gonzales, is back with the latest on Kenny Omega, who told Tokyo Sports that he’s leaving New Japan Pro Wrestling.
Dave gives an update on whether All Elite Wrestling and New Japan are going to work together in the near future. We discuss the latest news from New Japan concerning two Tokyo Dome shows next year, Kota Ibushi, KUSHIDA, Juice Robinson, and Takashi Iizuka. Dave also talks about being at New Year Dash live.
We talk about Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan at Raw, the latest on UFC 235 and Jon Jones’ future opponents, the passing of Ed Corney and Alexis Smirnoff, and then finish up with the last couple days of Dave’s Japan trip.
