Satoshi Kojima pulled from NJPW Road to New Beginning shows due to MCL injury

Tomohiro Ishii was also pulled from the two Road to the New Beginning shows as he will be traveling to Henderson, Nevada for Saturday's episode of AEW Collision. Ishii is scheduled to challenge Orange Cassidy for the International Championship on the show. 

"Additionally, Tomohiro Ishii will be absent due to wrestling on the AEW’s show this week," NJPW1972.com wrote. 

Ishii was scheduled to team with Hiroshi Tanahashi, Togi Makabe, and Honma against TMKD on Thursday. He was then scheduled to team with Tanahashi, Makabe, and Tiger Mask the following night, also against TMDK members. He will be replaced by YOSHI-HASHI in both matches. 

Jeff Cobb was officially pulled from Thursday and Friday's shows as well. He's been out of action with a left thigh injury since Saturday's show in Saitama. Cobb was scheduled for two multi-person tag matches featuring the United Empire vs. Bullet Club War Dogs factions on the shows. He will be replaced by The Great-O-Khan in both matches. 

Cobb is still scheduled to join his United Empire teammates in Sunday's cage match against Bullet Club. Neither Ishii nor Kojima was scheduled for the show.
