New Japan Pro-Wrestling announced plans for the week of WWE WrestleMania 39.

The promotion will be returning to WrestleCon later this year for its Strong Style Evolved event on Thursday, March 30. The show will be held at the Globe Theater, in Los Angeles, California.

Also on that card, Jay White defeated Mike Bailey, fans heard a promo from AEW star Jon Moxley, and in an eight-man tag team match Clark Connors, Karl Fredericks, Mascara Dorada, and Yuya Uemura defeated FinJuice (David Finlay and Juice Robinson), Daniel Garcia, and Kevin Knight.

WrestleCon 2023 will be held from March 30 to April 2. Some of the guests that have been announced for the event include Juice Robinson, Anna Jay, Taya Valkyrie, Billy Gunn, Sabu, Brian Cage, NWA Women's World Champion Kamille, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Toni Storm, Lex Luger, AEW Tag Team Champions The Acclaimed, The Gunn Club, Arn Anderson, Britt Baker, The Young Bucks, Lita, Kevin Nash, Bret "Hitman" Hart, Julia Hart, Carlito, John Morrison, Brian Myers, and Matt Cardona.
