Just when things in Japan appeared to have been getting better, NOAH announced the cancellation of their Yokohama event scheduled for tomorrow due to the continued spread of the coronavirus.

Very sadly, Noah have announced they have had to cancel the Yokohama event tomorrow as due to the spread of the Coronavirus, the Governor of Kanagawa has asked for a lockdown.#noah_ghc pic.twitter.com/o5nyr1aYC1 — Pro-Wrestling Noah Eng (Hisame, 冰雨) (@Hi5ame) March 26, 2020

All Japan and Stardom returned to action recently with events in front of live audiences and NOAH/DDT was scheduled to do the same however the virus is not as contained as they had hoped in Japan.

New Japan was hoping to get back to action on March 31st with Sakura Genesis but they recently announced that that event as well as their April 11 event has been cancelled.

As a result of the continuing COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak, NJPW has arrived at the decision to cancel Sakura Genesis on March 31 and Day one of the Road to Dontaku tour on April 11.

Japan was ahead of the curve on this and started cancelling events back in February (which seems like a lifetime ago) but unfortunately their government isnt quite comfortable with where they are at just yet.

Puro is falling apart. Dragon Gate cancelled three shows. NOAH cancelled as far out as May. In a true sign of the apocalypse, Big Japan is cancelling shows. We suspected Japan had gotten too brave. This is a good warning sign for the West to not get too cocky vs this thing. — Voices of Wrestling (@voiceswrestling) March 26, 2020
