Yota Tsuji Misses Third Consecutive NJPW Show Due to Illness

Yota Tsuji was pulled from this past Monday’s and Wednesday’s Road to Destruction events for New Japan Pro Wrestling due to an illness.

NJPW provided an update earlier today stating that they had pulled Tsuji from today’s Road to Destruction event in Kitami, Japan due to his current illness issues.
