Brody King Off NJPW Resurgence ‘Due to Unforeseen Circumstances’

– Brody King will no longer be in action tonight at New Japan’s Resurgence event. NJPW has issued a statement that Brody King has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled matchup at tonight’s Resurgence card “due to unforeseen circumstances.” Adrian Quest will be replacing King in the scheduled 10-man tag team matchup since King will not be on the show.

Since Quest was moved from his slot in the opening dark match for tonight’s event, Jordan Clearwater will be stepping up to replace him in that bout. You can see the full statement from New Japan on tonight’s Resurgence event below:
