Stardom recently cancelled a number of upcoming shows due to the coronavirus outbreak. Since then the spread of the infection has continued forcing many other Japanese companies like New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) to cancel events.
NJPW
New Japan Pro Wrestling has cancelled all events between March 1st and 15th. This includes the anniversary tour which was supposed to feature a clash between Tetsuya Naito and Hiromu Takahashi. This also affects the recently announced New Japan Cup with 8 tournament shows cancelled.
DDTPro
DDT, Ganbare and Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling have also cancelled a number of upcoming shows. A total of nine shows were cancelled between February 28th and March 8th. DDT will, however, run empty arena shows in their dojo during this period. All TJPW title matches scheduled to take place will be rescheduled.
DDT will replace the cancelled shows with non-spectator matches in their dojo to be broadcast on DDT UNIVERSE. The dates for these matches are:
28/2 DDT, 1/3 DDT & TJPW, 3/3 DDT, 7/3 DDT— Dramatic DDT (@DramaticDDT) February 26, 2020

Pro Wrestling Noah & Wrestle-1
These promotions have yet to cancel any shows but they have cancelled events. Noah cancelled a fan meeting while W-1 called off a press conference.
We are sure there will be more cancellations to come and will attempt to update as much as possible.
