KUSHIDA will continue to miss time.
New Japan Pro-Wrestling announced that KUSHIDA has not been cleared for NJPW Declaration of Power on October 10 due to hand foot and mouth disease. KUSHIDA was originally scheduled to face Taiji Ishimori at the event. Changes to the card will be announced at a later date.
KUSHIDA hasn't wrestled since September 15. He was initially diagnosed with a "suspected skin disease" on September 20 and forced to miss the September 21 NJPW event. He was then pulled from subsequent events due to hand foot and mouth disease before it was announced on September 26 that he would return at NJPW Declaration of Power.
Thank you for supporting New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
