All Japan Pro Wrestling announced today that Takumi Soya had suffered a right knee injury on their last event and will be forced to miss the remainder of the AJPW Champion Carnival tour.

Soya’s next and final match of the tournament was scheduled to be against Akebono on May 5th, however he’ll be unable to compete, which means that Akebono will automatically be awarded two points. Thus far AJPW have not revealed anything further on the injury including its severity. Soya joins Yutaka Yoshie as the second wrestler from Block B of the tournament to drop out due to injury.
