NJPW has announced that Jay White missed the August 9 event and won’t be at the August 10 event due to “heat stroke-like symptoms.”
His next bout is on August 13 against Taichi in the G1 tournament. NJPW issued the following:
Jay White, who was scheduled to wrestle in Hiroshima Sun Plaza Hall this evening, has been affected by heat stroke like symptoms and as a result will be removed from August 9 and 10 cards due to an abundance of caution. As an additional precautionary measure, White has undertaken COVID antigen testing, which has returned negative.
We apologise to fans who were looking forward to seeing White wrestle, and appreciate your understanding.
