The Mighty Don't Kneel star was set to compete on both Saturday and Sunday in London, England, but unfortunately, due to travel issues arising from Hurricane Ian, he was unable to attend the shows.
NJPW released the following statement:

It was out of my hands. Blame IAN!
I was looking forward to stomping Mr potato head in front of you all!
I'll make sure I'm back in LONDON soon enough!#TMDK https://t.co/6IN1oUHbMt
