Three matches official for High Alert July 24! 【NJoA】​

First matches announced for Grady Cole Center

High Alert will see NJPW return to Charlotte North Carolina and the Grady Cole Center for the first time in over three years on July 24. With the first STRONG Openweight Tag Team Champions to be crowned on the card’s headline bout, plenty more action is to come, including these three mammoth matchups.

Clark Connors will go one on one with Hiromu Takahashi. In an explosive clash during Best of the Super Jr. in Ota, the Wild Rhino Connors came close to defeating the Time Bomb, especially with a tackle that almost knocked Hiromu clear out of the tournament. Though it would be Hiromu that just barely ended Clark’s tournament hopes with the D submission, the Shibata trainee had earned the eventual BOSJ winner’s respect.
In Korakuen Hall on June 21, both Connors and Takahashi suffered crushing defeats after classic performances. Connors would push Tomohiro Ishii to his very limit in an AEW All Atlantic qualifier, while Hiromu Takahashi battled Taiji Ishimori in a losing effort after a match of the year candidate. Now they square off one on one in a match that could shape the rest of the year for both men.

Mascara Dorada will be taking on TJP. The Public Enemy returns to the US with some freshly won gold in his suitcase, and still with a pair of Dorada’s masks in hsi possession. The humiliation that CMLL’s estrella suffered at the hands of TJP in both Florida and Hollywood is not something he’s going to forget easily, and he’ll be bringing a ton of pent up aggression to the ring in Charlotte.

A giant battle will see Hikuleo face Big Damo. Damo is looking to bounce back from a loss to Tomohiro Ishii a few weeks ago on STRONG, but in an emergent field of superheavyweights on Saturday nights, Hikuleo wants to prove that he is worthy of bring called king of the giants.

More big matches set for Charlotte July 24! 【NJoA】​

Connors picks a three way fight, Kingston and Something, more！

More massive matches have been made for July 24, and High Alert tapings in the Grady Cole Center in Charlotte. With the STRONG Openweight singles and tag team titles on the line, and some thrilling new debuts, this is an unmissable evening!

What was originally scheduled to be a singles return match from best of the Super Jr. between Clark Connors and Hiromu Takahashi has now been expanded to a three way as El Desperado joins the mix. Motivated by his appearance at Forbidden Door, and a desire to align himself more firmly to the Jericho Appreciation Society, Desperado called out Jon Moxley backstage at Korakuen Hall. That challenge got an unforseen response, as Clark Connors stepped to the masked man, saying that any Japanese star who sought to make a name for themselves in the US first had to go through him.
Connors would invite Desperado to STRONG, and the Suzuki-Gun member has accepted, but it won’t just be Connors in his sights. As Connors vs Hiromu had already been signed, the match has been expanded to a three way war, and Desperado will get his hands back on his BOSJ final opponent Hiromu Takahashi. Three hungry stars will make for a wild affair in Charlotte!

The Mad King returns to NJPW STRONG as he battles Jake Something in Charlotte. Something made an impressive STRONG debut in Philadelphia, and though he fell to Brody King in their singles clash, his power and agility wowed the 2300 Arena crowd. He’ll be relying on all of his impressive offence tonight as he tries to take on Eddie Kingston’s own brand of violence.

With four NWA Tag team Championships under their belts, the Heat Seekers combination of Elliot Russel and Sigmon make their NJPW STRONG debuts in Charlotte as they face The DKC and Kevin Knight. Despite being rivals within the LA Dojo, DKC and Knight have come to form an impressively cohesive tag team as well, and have gotten some significant victories to their name against established opposition. Can they see off the former NWA Champions in the distinctly NWA territory of Charlotte?​
