Absolutely nothing on there worth watching.
Matches will probably be good but there's nothing of substance on the card.

So in my under the weather haze last night, I seem to remember that the Wrestlekingdom 9 show started on AXS. The tag team match for the Jr belts was first out of the gate. If I remember correctly, they said that WK9 would be shown on AXS for the next 5 weeks.

This came out a bit ago. Obviously by now we know that Kelly & Striker are on commentary.
New Japan Pro Wrestling is now advertising that their upcoming King of Pro Wrestling PPV on October 12th will be broadcast with English commentary. Little information is known other than a graphic promoting "live coverage in English", and we are still awaiting an official announcement regarding who the announce team might be.
The show kicks off at 3:00AM ET on October 12th, and viewers will presumably need a subscription to New Japan World (999 yen, or about $8.30USD) to access the event.
This will be the first show since January's massive Wrestle Kingdom that will feature English audio on a New Japan event, which was handled by Global Force Wrestling and broadcast on US PPV. There had been talks of doing something similar with the Invasion Attack PPV in April, or Dominion back in July, but nothing came together. At this time it does not appear that Jeff Jarrett nor GFW has anything to do with King of Pro Wrestling.
Here is the final match card:
IWGP Heavyweight Championship Match
* Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. AJ Styles
Tanahashi Defends His #1 Contender's Right
* Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Tetsuya Naito
NEVER Openweight ChampionshiP Match
* Togi Makabe (c) vs. Tomohiro Ishii
* Bullet Club (Bad Luck Fale, Doc Gallows, Karl Anderson) vs. Sakuraba, Shinsuke Nakamura & Toru Yano
IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship Match
* Kenny Omega (c) vs. Matt Sydal
IWGP Jr. Tag Team Championship Match
* reDragon (c) vs. RPG Vice
* Captain New Japan, Hirooki Goto, Shibata & Kota Ibushi vs. Tenzan, Nakanishi, Satoshi Kojima & Yuji Nagata
* Tomoaka Honma vs. Yoshi-Hashi
* David Finlay, Jay WHite, Juice Robinson (CJ Parker), Sho Tanaka & Yohei Komatsu vs. Jushin Thunder Liger, Kushida, Mascara Dorada, Ryusuke Taguchi & Tiger Mask
