Back on April 20, Twitter changed its verification system by, removing blue checkmarks from verified users and asking them to pay $8.00 for Twitter Blue. It should noted that anyone can pay the $8.00 for the blue Twitter checkmark for verification.
Several pro wrestling talent took to Twitter to react to the changes. NJPW issued a statement on their website.
Below is the statement from NJPW:
