– All Elite Wrestling has announced that Shawn Spears has officially signed with the company. He made his debut at AEW Double or Nothing in the Casino Battle Royal.

– NJPW has posted a video of Lance Archer hyping the G1 Climax show in Dallas, Texas on July 6 at the American Airlines Center.

– NJPW General Manager of the International Department Michael Craven spoke with Fox Sports Australia about the possibility of G1 Climax 2020 also going international.

He said: “The Olympics has provided a lot of inspiration across all of Japanese society. 2020 is being held as a landmark year for many, and NJPW is no exception. Already we’ve announced some major dates for the year, starting with two events back to back January 4 and 5 in the Tokyo Dome. As far as the G1 Climax is concerned, we’ll be keeping that a secret for now. That said, and as you no doubt know, the G1 Climax is starting in Dallas, Texas this year. It’ll be the first time for matches in the tournament to ever take place outside of Japan. That’s really exciting to us, but it also does set a precedent.
