After a challenge laid out by Gabe Kidd at Fantasticamania USA, the NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion puts his title on the line against Lio Rush. The last time we laid eyes on Rush in an NJPW ring was at Resurgence in California after a long absence. There he faced Mustafa Ali, and after the bout, the Blakcheart persona of the junior heavyweight made his presence felt. Blackheart could be described as the physical manifestations of Rush’s inner demons; Kidd though said that ‘I’m all your demons right here’ when issuing his challenge.
Looking to define his NJPW STRONG Openweight Championship reign through battles in hostile territory, Kidd gleefully faced down Ultimo Guerrero in the lucha libre surroundings of Fantasticamania in San Jose, before now calling out one of Washington DC’s favoured sons. Whether that could be deemed bravery, confidence or arrogance may depend on the result in DC and whether Kidd can move to V2 days after his second G1 Climax campaign comes to an end.
Zack Sabre Jr. goes one on one with Titan in a special singles match. Sabre has had his ups and downs in Mexico this summer, with a win over Virus before a singles loss to Hechicero; then Hechicero and Virus picked up the win over TMDK in tag team action at Fantasticamania. Now ZSJ faces a very different style of luchador in TItan. Meanwhile, with a win over Naito in the G1 under his belt, and with Shingo Takagi to come, Sabres’ battles with Los Ingobernables De Japon take on an interesting new twist.
The West Coast Wrecking Crew’s rivalry with Dirty Work continues as Fred Rosser and Tom Lawlor get a grudge rematch against Jorel Nelson and Royce Isaacs. Isaacs and Nelson feel they put Fred Rosser, and specifically their former Team Filthy faction leader Tom Lawlor, firmly in the rear view mirror with a win at Resurgence, but now will look to underline that victory, and make a definitive statement heading into the autumn.
Meanwhile, kickoff action will see HANAKO’s US excursion continue with a battle against Trish Adora. HANAKO has developed quickly into an intimidating star as one of the largest women on the STARDOM roster. The Afropunk Trish Adora is intimidation personified though, and will be an imposing test for the young HANAKO in DC.
