Dragon Gate will start having fans in attendance next month.
The promotion confirmed that fans can be in attendance starting July 4 in Kyoto, Japan. The following shows are confirmed as well: July 5 (Kyoto), July 10 (Aichi), July 15 (Tokyo), July 18 (Ishikawa), July 19 (Hyogo) and July 23 (Fukui).
Dragon Gate has revealed its COVID-19 protocols that fans attending must read. The Japanese promotion has been up and running since last month, most notably having the 2020 King of Gate Tournament. 24 men fought in this year’s competition with big names such as Ben K, YAMATO, Ishida, and Naruki Doi in the tournament. Ultimately, Eita beat Naruki Doi to win the competition for the first time of his career, and Eita gets the opportunity to challenge any champion of his choosing at a future event.
Both Stardom and New Japan Pro Wrestling have just re-opened their doors for wrestling events as well. Stardom has allowed a limited number of fans to attend their events, but NJPW is holding empty arena shows. Fans will be able to attend events next month.
