NJPW News: Stipulation Added To Wrestle Kingdom IWGP Intercontinental Title Match
A new stipulation has been added to a match at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom!
We’re less than 24 hours away now from New Japan Pro Wrestling’s huge Wrestle Kingdom 13 event from the Tokyo Dome, taking place (for us here in the United States) very early tomorrow morning at 2AM EST.
Today, NJPW held its Fan Fiesta activities which included some in-ring action, as well as the final press conferences for Wrestle Kingdom. Among those was Tetsuya Naito and IWGP Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho’s final words for one another before their title match, which saw a new stipulation added.
After trying to coax Naito into a No Disqualification Match, the challenger wasn’t too keen on giving into Jericho’s request quickly. Eventually, Naito would agree and both guys would sign the new contract, making it official. Here is the updated, final card for Wrestle Kingdom 13:

Former WWE Star Reveals How Company Tests Wrestlers for an “Attitude Problem”
A former WWE star took to social media to explain, in brief, how WWE evaluates its talent to determine whether they have an “attitude problem.” The post offered a glimpse into the company’s behind-the-scenes vetting process, suggesting that behavior and professionalism are actively monitored during a wrestler’s time with the promotion.
While the explanation was limited, the revelation underscores WWE’s focus on maintaining locker-room culture and managing talent dynamics. Fans and industry observers may read the post as further evidence that character and conduct behind the curtain can be as consequential as in-ring performance.
