Major Sponsorship Unveiled for WRESTLE KINGDOM 20

Excitement is building for one of the most anticipated wrestling events, WRESTLE KINGDOM 20, scheduled for January 4, 2026, at Tokyo Dome. Recently, it was confirmed that Nuts RV, a leading manufacturer of recreational vehicles in Japan, will serve as the platinum sponsor for this landmark event. The announcement highlights the collaboration between New Japan Pro-Wrestling, a subsidiary of Bushiroad, and Nuts RV, led by their President Kenji Araki.

The event promises to be unforgettable not only for wrestling fans but also for the significant moments it heralds, including the retirement match of renowned wrestler Hiroshi Tanahashi. This match, alongside the debut of Wolf Aroun, has already generated huge excitement, and fans are urged to secure their tickets soon, as they are expected to sell out incredibly fast.

With this sponsorship, Nuts RV will engage fans through several promotional initiatives leading up to the event. The company aims to enhance visibility and generate buzz around both the event and their brand.

Special Initiatives to Mark the Sponsorship

To celebrate this partnership, Nuts RV and New Japan Pro-Wrestling have planned several special projects, kicking off with a unique dialogue between Kenji Araki and Hiroshi Tanahashi, which will be shared on the official New Japan Pro-Wrestling YouTube channel on December 28.

Special Commercials at Hakata Station

From December 29, 2025, to January 4, 2026, special commercials featuring both presidents will air at various locations around Hakata Station, including the Chikushi Exit and multi-vision displays at the central ticket gates. This marketing move is expected to attract attention from commuters and visitors in the lead-up to the event.

Feature Article in Nishinippon Shimbun

On January 1, 2026, a special 15-section interview with Kenji Araki and Hiroshi Tanahashi will be published in Nishinippon Shimbun. This talk will focus on their insights into the professional wrestling industry, and a version of this interview will also be included in the official event pamphlet, providing fans with deeper background and stories.

Exciting Video Content

In addition to print and TV advertising, the partnership has led to the creation of a series of engaging videos. These include:
