Backstage News – Brock Lesnar’s Drawing Power + The NXT Live Special

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

When WWE announced that Brock Lesnar will be wrestling at what we now know will be a live WWE Network special at Sumo Hall in Tokyo, Japan on July 4th, ticket sales went from average to an immediate, legitimate sell out. Because of the way WWE is setting up the arena, there were only 6,500 tickets available, however WWE will likely announce a figure close to 11,000. Lesnar will be wrestling Kofi Kingston on the show.

Also, there was still advertising for Daniel Bryan on the tour as recently as this week, however he could be appearing in a non-wrestling capacity, as Hideo Itami, who will not be wrestling, is also scheduled to appear on the show.

Additionally, Japanese legend Tatsumi Fujinami is expected to attend one or both of the shows, with the hook being that WWE put him in their Hall Of Fame this year.
