AJPW NEWS 

~ NXT's Charlie Dempsey, son of William Regal, was announced to make his debut in All Japan on December 31st as he teams with Yuma Anzai to take on the veteran Tatsumi Fujinami and his son LEONA. It was also announced that Dempsey will go on to challenge for the Triple Crown belt on January 3rd at the Korakuen Hall. He will face the winner of Nakajima versus Miyahara which takes place on the 12/31 show.


~ Also Takao Omori (54) formally announced that he will be leaving All Japan following the December 31st show. Takao re-joined All Japan in 2012 and has been a key figure in trying to see through the rise of young wrestlers in the promotion in which he sees them in a strong position now. Thus he feels he has accomplished everything that he can at this time and its time for him to shift his focus elsewhere. He also stated that he will make another announcement soon in regards to his in-ring future.

~ The full event card for the December 31st show was announced as well.
