Following his WWE Undisputed Championship match loss to Cody Rhodes at Clash at the Castle, AJ Styles will face Naomichi Marufuji at Pro Wrestling NOAH’s Destination 2024 event on July 13th at Budokan Hall.

In a Twitter video, Styles stated, “I am here to announce that I will be coming to Japan to face Japanese legend Marufuji at the Budokan at the NOAH event on July 13th. Let’s tear the house down on July 13th.”
