Historic X-Over 2 (pronounced: Historic Crossover, also written as Historic X-Over II) is an upcoming professional wrestling event co-promoted by New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) and its subsidiary World Wonder Ring Stardom (Stardom). It will take place on November 17, 2024, at the Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium in Osaka, Japan and will be the second event in the Historic X-Over chronology.

Production

Background

On January 31, 2012, card game company Bushiroad fully acquired New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) from video game developer Yuke's and on October 17, 2019, Bushiroad announced in a press conference that they had also acquired World Wonder Ring Stardom (Stardom).

NJPW and Stardom hold the first Historic X-Over on November 20, 2022, at Ariake Arena in Tokyo which was considered a success with over 7,000 fans attending the event.[1][2] On October 10, 2023, the second Historic X-Over event was announced during a joint press conference by NJPW and Stardom, which would take place sometime in 2024.[3] On April 23, 2024, NJPW announced that they would acquire Stardom, thus making Stardom a subsidiary of NJPW.[4] With the acquisition being completed in late June.[5] On June 9, NJPW announced that Historic X-Over 2 would take on November 17 at Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium.[6]

Storylines

Historic X-Over 2 will feature professional wrestling matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[7]
