AJSWC Teases Massive Announcement for the Future of Pro-Wrestling in Japan
In a highly anticipated press conference earlier today, the All-Japan Sports and Wrestling Commission (AJSWC) hinted at what they are calling a "game-changing" announcement for the world of professional wrestling in Japan. Media representatives, wrestling insiders, and fans alike packed the hall, eager to learn what could be on the horizon for Japan’s beloved wrestling scene. While no specific details were revealed, the AJSWC spokesperson was adamant that the news would have monumental implications for the future of the sport.
The spokesperson for the AJSWC, Junichiro Matsuda, stepped to the podium looking confident but reserved. Flanked by members of the Commission’s International Development Office (IDO), Matsuda greeted the eager crowd and thanked them for attending, before diving straight into the purpose of the press conference.
“We at the AJSWC have been working tirelessly on something that will fundamentally reshape the landscape of pro-wrestling in Japan,” Matsuda said, instantly grabbing the attention of the room. “This announcement will have massive ramifications not only for the athletes, but for the fans, promotions, and the entire structure of professional wrestling as we know it.”
Reporters immediately began shouting out questions, but Matsuda was quick to clarify that no specific information would be disclosed at this time.
“I know everyone here is hoping for more concrete details,” Matsuda continued, “but we ask for your patience. We are still finalizing some of the finer aspects of this development. What I can say is that this is not just a minor policy change or a simple initiative—this is a monumental shift. It is a long-term project, and we believe it will elevate pro-wrestling in Japan to new heights.”
When asked by a reporter from ENSOU! TV if this announcement would affect current partnerships with wrestling promotions like MAX-J or POSEIDON-1, Matsuda responded diplomatically.
“We value our partnerships with all the promotions currently affiliated with the AJSWC. This forthcoming announcement is about expanding opportunities, not limiting them. The Commission is always looking for ways to grow and elevate the sport. We’re confident that what’s coming will create new avenues for everyone involved in pro-wrestling in Japan, from promotions to athletes and, most importantly, the fans.”
A particularly bold reporter from Tokyo Sports asked whether this announcement would have any impact on international wrestling and if the Commission was planning something on a global scale.
Matsuda smiled, clearly anticipating the question. “Pro-wrestling is a global sport, no doubt about that. We’ve seen the incredible influence of Japanese wrestling on the international stage, and we’re always exploring ways to enhance that influence. We should also keep in mind that Japan is ichiban - the #1 - in all of pro-wrestling. The best fighters live here, whether they are our native countrymen or they are foreign-born and choose to compete here. Never forget this. That’s all I can say for now.”
One reporter from Sports Nippon probed further, asking if the announcement would involve changes to how the sport is regulated by the AJSWC. “Will this affect the way the Commission interacts with wrestling promotions? Are you hinting at a new regulatory framework for the industry?”
Matsuda remained tight-lipped but offered a teasing response. “Let’s just say that the AJSWC has always prioritized the purity and legitimacy of pro-wrestling. We stand by our principles and are excited to make sure those principles are upheld in innovative and forward-thinking ways.”
The spokesperson wrapped up the press conference by saying that the formal announcement would be made within the next two weeks, sending the wrestling community into a frenzy of speculation. Before leaving the stage, Matsuda issued one final statement that only added to the intrigue.

“Whatever you think you know about the future of pro-wrestling in Japan, let it go. What we’re preparing will not just change the game—it will set the standard for what professional wrestling can be. Stay tuned.”
What exactly the AJSWC is planning remains a mystery, but one thing is clear: the future of pro-wrestling in Japan is about to change in a big way. With MAX-J's MOMIJI NO SENSHI October tour coming up, this teaser will certainly loom large. The eyes of the wrestling world will be focused on the Commission in the coming weeks as anticipation builds for what could be one of the most significant announcements in the history of Japanese professional wrestling.
