WWE NXT Star Charlie Dempsey Touches Down in Japan for AJPW Event

WWE has a lot of things in the pipeline for 2024, as the company is currently focusing on global expansion and building partnerships with other promotions. This includes WWE’s upcoming event with AJPW, as Charlie Dempsey has already arrived in Japan for his AJPW matches.

Katsuhiko Nakajima is the current AJPW Triple Crown Champion and has been booked very well since becoming the champion. That said, things might be changing for him next year.

As previously reported, an NXT Superstar was recently teased as future opponent for Katsuhiko Nakajima. The NXT Superstar was ultimately revealed to be William Regal’s son, Charlie Dempsey.

The All Japan Pro Wrestling’s official Twitter account took to the social media site and revealed that Charlie Dempsey has landed in Japan for their events. On December 31st, Dempsey and Yuma Anzai will face off against Leona Fujinami & Tatsumi Fujinami at AJPW Mania.
