The bout between Nakajima and Miyahara will take place on December 31. They will face the "NXT assassin" on January 3.
This is not the first time WWE will have worked with a Japanese promotion in recent memory, as earlier this year Shinsuke Nakamura would make his way to NOAH for The Great Muta's final matchup on New Year's Day.
As of this writing, it is unknown what NXT superstar will make their way over to All Japan Pro Wrestling. Fightful will provide updates on who will be making their way to Japan as the news becomes available.
