Mystery Wrestling is expanding its travel schedule with four newly announced events across Japan, Wales, England and Chile. The promotion revealed dates and venues for shows running from January through March, giving its audience a clearer look at an international slate that will take Mystery Wrestling from Asia to Europe and South America.
The announced run begins on January 7 at Tokyo Square in Itabashi, Japan. Mystery Wrestling will then head to Cathay’s Community Centre in Cardiff, Wales, on February 4, followed by a February 6 event at Mountford Hall in Liverpool, England. The newly revealed itinerary concludes on March 20 at Teatro Roma in Santiago, Chile.
While full cards and additional talent announcements have not yet been detailed for the respective dates, one notable name has already been confirmed for the Tokyo Square event. Japanese wrestling veteran The Great Sasuke will compete at the January 7 show in Itabashi.
Mystery Wrestling’s newly announced schedule
- January 7: Tokyo Square — Itabashi, Japan
- February 4: Cathay’s Community Centre — Cardiff, Wales
- February 6: Mountford Hall — Liverpool, England
- March 20: Teatro Roma — Santiago, Chile
The four-date announcement places Mystery Wrestling in four distinctly different wrestling markets and underlines the broad geographic scope of its upcoming plans. Japan, the United Kingdom and Chile all have passionate live wrestling audiences, and the schedule gives the promotion a series of individual destination events rather than a single regional loop.

The Cardiff and Liverpool dates are particularly close together, with only one day separating the February 4 and February 6 events. That pairing creates a compact United Kingdom portion of the schedule before the promotion moves on to its March date in Santiago. Cardiff’s Cathay’s Community Centre and Liverpool’s Mountford Hall will each host one of the newly announced stops.
The Great Sasuke announced for Tokyo
The Great Sasuke’s inclusion provides the first confirmed in-ring attraction attached to the new dates. A defining figure in Japanese independent wrestling, The Great Sasuke brings considerable name recognition to the Tokyo Square card, which will open Mystery Wrestling’s announced run.
His appearance also gives the Itabashi event a clear focal point while the remainder of the lineup remains to be revealed. Mystery Wrestling did not announce an opponent for The Great Sasuke, nor did it provide match details alongside the date and venue. As a result, the Tokyo card remains an event with a major confirmed participant but unanswered questions around the rest of the competition.
That approach leaves room for further announcements as each event draws closer. The current information establishes where Mystery Wrestling will be, when it will be there and, in Tokyo’s case, one of the wrestlers fans can expect to see. No other matches, talent assignments or card structures were included with the initial schedule release.
A four-country itinerary
The January 7 event in Itabashi starts the itinerary in Japan, a country whose wrestling landscape includes major national companies as well as a deep independent scene. Tokyo Square will host Mystery Wrestling for that opening date, with The Great Sasuke set to compete.
From there, the promotion’s next announced stop is Cardiff on February 4. Wales has remained an important part of the wider British wrestling circuit, and the Cathay’s Community Centre date gives Mystery Wrestling a dedicated event in the Welsh capital before its quick turnaround for Liverpool.
The February 6 show at Mountford Hall follows just two days after Cardiff. Liverpool has long been a key city for live entertainment and wrestling events in England, and Mystery Wrestling’s appearance there gives the promotion a second UK date during the same week. The proximity of those two shows means the Cardiff and Liverpool events will likely be viewed together as the European portion of this newly announced stretch, though no talent crossover details have been confirmed.
Finally, Mystery Wrestling will travel to Santiago for its March 20 event at Teatro Roma. The Chile date takes the promotion to South America and makes the schedule notably more than a Japan-and-UK run. Santiago’s inclusion broadens the reach of the announced calendar and gives fans in Chile a Mystery Wrestling event of their own.
Season one available, season two set for November 9
The live-event announcement arrives as Mystery Wrestling also continues to build its video presence. Season one of Mystery is available now on MyAEW. Meanwhile, season two is scheduled to arrive on YouTube on November 9.
The availability of the first season and the planned launch for the second offer viewers an opportunity to follow the project away from the newly announced live dates. With season two due on November 9, the release comes before the January 7 Tokyo event that begins the international schedule.
For fans who are newly encountering Mystery Wrestling through the event announcements, the season releases provide a way to become familiar with the presentation before the promotion reaches Tokyo, Cardiff, Liverpool and Santiago. The promotion has not tied specific season content to any of the four newly announced events, so the live cards and the video releases should be viewed as separate pieces of Mystery Wrestling’s current rollout.
What remains to be announced
At this stage, Mystery Wrestling has confirmed the dates, locations and venues for all four events, plus The Great Sasuke’s participation in Tokyo. The promotion has not announced the full talent lineups for Cardiff, Liverpool or Santiago, and it has not disclosed additional Tokyo matches beyond The Great Sasuke’s appearance.
There is also no announced information on opponents, stipulations, championships, event start times or the order in which matches will take place. Those details may be addressed in future updates, but they were not part of the initial release.
Still, the schedule itself is substantial. Mystery Wrestling has laid out a path that begins in Itabashi, crosses through Cardiff and Liverpool, and ends in Santiago. Each date represents a different city and country, while the confirmation of The Great Sasuke immediately gives the Japanese event a major veteran presence.
With season one currently accessible on MyAEW and season two coming to YouTube on November 9, Mystery Wrestling has multiple points of activity ahead of the live schedule. The next developments to watch will be the rest of the talent announcements and match cards for January 7 at Tokyo Square, February 4 at Cathay’s Community Centre, February 6 at Mountford Hall and March 20 at Teatro Roma.
