The stakes have been raised for Eddie Kingston and Jay White.
Kingston and White are set to meet at NJPW Battle in the Valley on February 18. Making a joint appearance on Wrestling Observer Live, the two men agreed to a new stipulation for the bout.
If Jay White loses, he will never wrestle in NJPW again. If Kingston loses, he will never wrestle in a NJPW ring against a NJPW talent. Kingston has to get permission from White if he wants to compete in a NJPW ring or against a NJPW talent.
White recently lost a Loser Leaves Japan match to Hikuleo at NJPW New Beginning in Osaka.
