NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 13 to stream live worldwide on FITE TV on January 4, 2019

According to a new report from Mike Johnson at PWInsider, NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 13 will stream live worldwide on FITE TV live from the Tokyo Dome on January 4, 2019. 
Johnson indicated the deal between New Japan and FITE was completed this week, and that an official announcement could be made as soon as this Thursday.   
The report also stated the plan is for the show to air live beginning at 3:00AM ET in its entirety in Japanese or English, priced at $34.99 and will be made available anywhere in the world through the various FITE TV platforms, including Roku and mobile devices.  In addition, the show will be available for Video On Demand replays.
We had also previously reported that AXS TV will broadcast two-hours of Wrestle Kingdom 13 on its network via tape delay on January 4. 
NJPW has already announced the following matches for Wrestle Kingdom 13:
*IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega vs. G1 Climax 28 tournament winner Hiroshi Tanahashi.
*IWGP Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho vs. Tetsuya Naito.
*IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion KUSHIDA vs. Taiji Ishimori.
*Revolution Pro British Heavyweight Champion Tomohiro Ishii vs. Zack Sabre Jr.
*Kazuchika Okada vs. Jay White.
*IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Yoshinobu Kanemaru & El Desperado vs. Roppongi 3K vs. BUSHI & Shingo.
Opinionated View- Well I am happy as it gives more fans the chance to see teh show. But I would say if you can just buy New Japan World. Its basically the same price as WWE Network or UFC Fightpass. Plus you also get the fall out show New Year's Dash. But I also it might not be on every platform.
