It is time for All Japan Pro Wrestling to gear up for its annual round-robin tournament, the Champion Carnival. AJPW has suffered some blows over the past year but it will surely put its best foot forward for its biggest tournament of the year. Let’s take a look at the Champion Carnival 2022 blocks and participants.
Champion Carnival 2022 Blocks
A Block
- Shuji Ishikawa
- Shotaro Ashino
- Ryuki Honda
- Shigehiro Irie
- T-Hawk (GLEAT)
- Jake Lee (Previous Winner)
B Block
- Kenyo Miyahara
- Suwama
- Yuma Aoyagi
- Yoshitatsu
- Kuma Arashi
- Takuya Nomura (BJW)
Jake Lee returns to action after vacating the Triple Crown Championship in a loaded A Block. This block is sure to feature some great matches but only Lee and Ishikawa will be favourites to make it out of the block.
As for B Block it is full of big names including former BJW Strong Champion Takuya Nomura who is a welcome addition to the field. Suwama and Kento Miyahara will continue their rivalry during block action and both men will be confident that they can make it through the block, although if AJPW wanted to get Nomura into the finals and shock us then we wouldn’t complain.
AJPW’s Champion Carnival 2022 is set to kick off in April and will, as always, decide a number one contender for the Triple Crown Championship which is currently held by Kento Miyahara in his fifth reign with the title.
