Why Certain WWE Stars Were Not at SD!

Many of the WWE crew and several talents have already arrived in Japan for this week’s events taking place in Tokyo and Osaka. This explains why certain stars were noticeably absent at last night’s Smackdown tapings.

As we noted before, WWE is running three events in Japan this week, with two events taking place in Tokyo tomorrow and Friday, and one event taking place in Osaka on Saturday.

WWE is expected to publicly announce the signing of Pro Wrestling NOAH star KENTA at the event in Osaka, and Hulk Hogan will be on hand for the announcement.
