BULLET CLUB V THE ELITE
The first match announced for the New Beginning in Osaka event. Which would also serve the event’s main event. Was one hell of a ten-man tag team match between the Bullet Club and the Elite.
For the Bullet Club team, it was revealed that it would consist of IWGP Heavyweight Champion Jay White. IWGP JR Heavyweight Champion Taiji Ishimori, Robbie Eagles and the Guerrillas of Destiny.
Whereas the Elite would obviously be represented by IWGP US & IWGP NEVER Openweight Champion Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega, Hangman Page and the Young Bucks.
