The first month of 2022 has been extremely eventful in pro wrestling.
January opened with must-see shows on multiple continents. WWE ran its Day 1 pay-per-view in Atlanta, where Brock Lesnar crowned himself champion. Nearly 7,000 miles away in Tokyo, The New Year saw Katsuhiko Nakajima establish himself as the most prominent figure in Pro Wrestling NOAH by defeating Go Shiozaki to retain the GHC heavyweight championship. Since then, New Japan Pro-Wrestling held its three-night Wrestle Kingdom extravaganza, where Kazuchika Okada reclaimed his spot atop the company’s throne, and Hangman Adam Page ushered in the AEW-on-TBS era with a physical, bloody affair against Bryan Danielson.
Now, on the heels of WWE’s Royal Rumble event on Saturday, another seminal card will seize the wrestling world’s attention. Taking place in Nagoya, Japan, at the Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium, World Wonder Ring Stardom—best known as Stardom—presents Stardom Nagoya Supreme Fight.
