NJPW announced that newly-signed AEW star and up and coming pro wrestling prodigy Nick Wayne will be competing at their All Star Junior Festival alongside stars such as Rocky Romero and IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion Hiromu Takahashi.
This huge news comes after the 18-year-old wrestling star made his AEW in-ring debut on this past Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite against Swerve Strickland in a singles match and was officially signed to the company despite his loss to the pro wrestling veteran.
New Japan Pro Wrestling’s All Star Junior Festival is set to take place on Saturday, August 19th from the legendary 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
