DDT released a statement this morning that went at follows:
[Announcement Regarding Cody Hall]
Thank you for your support for DDT Pro-Wrestling.
Cody Hall has recently made an inappropriate comment on Twitter, and we have contacted him regarding this situation. Cody Hall has apologized to us, and has also suggested withdrawing himself from the remaining dates of his tour as well as relinquishing his Anytime Anywhere contract. In light of the gravity of his comments, we have agreed to all of his suggestions above.
All announced cards including Cody Hall will be changed, and the scheduled KO-D Tag Championship Match in Nagoya on February 24 will be cancelled. All updated cards will be announced once they are decided.
DDT Pro-Wrestling will keep working to provide pro-wrestling content that can be enjoyed by the fans. We sincerely apologize to everyone that has been affected by this situation, as well as all of our fans.
Sincerely,
DDT Pro-Wrestling

This was in regards to a tweet Cody Hall sent to Chris Dickinson making a Coronavirus and “Yellow Fever” joke that did not go down well with anyone. As mentioned above, Hall had apologised both to DDT and publicly on his Twitter account.
One last thing, if your reaction to this is to blame “Cancel Culture” or “Social Justice Warriors” then fuck off.
