Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows Returning To NJPW In December

A couple of Good Brothers will be returning to New Japan Pro-Wrestling next month.

Taking to Karl Anderson's Instagram account, Machine Gun KA and Luke Gallows revealed they will be heading to Japan for the NJPW World Tag League/Super Junior Tag League finals on Wednesday, December 14. Anderson will be defending the NEVER Openweight Championship on the show against Hikuleo.

Anderson was originally scheduled to defend the gold against Hikuleo at Battle Autumn on November 5 but KA instead teamed with Gallows and AJ Styles in a loss to Judgment Day at the WWE Crown Jewel pay-per-view that day. NJPW threatened to strip Anderson of his title but Hikuleo noted he wanted to win the belt from Machine Gun.

Anderson is reportedly expected to work additional events for NJPW after December 14, including Wrestle Kingdom 17 on January 4.

KA has been NEVER Openweight Champion since defeating Tama Tonga for the title at Dominion in June. Anderson and Gallows returned to WWE in October following their departures from IMPACT Wrestling.
