Wheeler Yuta will wrestle a dark match at this Saturday’s (April 16) NJPW Windy City Riot event.

Yuta will team with Rocky Romero when CHAOS faces off against Kevin Knight & The DKC of the LA Dojo.

This will be Yuta’s second in-ring appearance for NJPW this year, following his bout at last month’s Strong Style Evolved taping. This will be his first NJPW match since officially signing with AEW.

Yuta has had an eventful few weeks, winning the ROH Pure Championship at Supercard of Honor, and earning the respect of the Blackpool Combat Club after a star-making performance against Jon Moxley on Friday’s AEW Rampage.

Moxley will face off against Will Ospreay during the main Windy City Riot show.
