NJPW Postpones Their Big August MSG Return Until 2021

NJPW announced today that they are postponing Wrestle Dynasty – the major show that was scheduled for August 22 at Madison Square Garden in NYC – until some time in 2021.

Madison Square Garden was closed on March 12 because of the coronavirus and with NYC being the epicenter of the virus, there’s no telling when the venue might reopen for shows, let alone shows with a capacity crowd, which will likely not be allowed until there’s a coronavirus vaccine, which is expected to still be over a year away.

Wrestle Dynasty was going to be NJPW’s return to MSG after G1 Supercard in 2019, and NJPW had plans to make it one of their biggest shows of the year. Tickets were set to go on sale later this month.
