WWE to tour Japan with Big Show next month

MUMBAI: World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has announced that it will conduct its final tour of Japan for the year next month.

WWE has roped in former Sumo Grand Champion Akebono for the event that takes place on 1 and 2 July. In India WWE airs on Ten Sports.

At WrestleMania21, Akebono opposed Big Show in a Sumo match. These one time opponents will now join forces to take on upstart SmackDown! Superstars Carlito and Matt Morgan.

That is not the only fantasy match on the card. WWE Champions from Raw and Smackdown! Batista and John Cena will team up for a tag team match against former champions JBL and Triple H. The titles will also be on the line. Batista will take on Triple H in a Street Fight while Cena will face JBL and Orlando Jordan.

One of WWE’s biggest draws over the years, The Undertaker will face off against former Olympic Gold medallist Kurt Angle. Shawn Michaels and Chris Benoit will take on Mohammed Hassan and Daivari in tag team competition.
