The card for NJPW Rumble on 44th Street continues to take shape.
First, the STRONG Tag Titles will be on the line as Aussie Opens defends against The Motor City Machine Guns and DKC and Kevin Knight. Additionally, Clark Connors will face a big test as he takes on Minoru Suzuki. Finally, Rocky Romero and YOH will battle SHO and Yujiro Takahashi.
NJPW issued the following release:
After a challenge issued over social media, Aussie Open will put the STRONG Openweight Tag team Championships on the line for the fourth time against both The DKC and Kevin Knight of LA Dojo and the legendary Motor City Machineguns. Knight and the DKC earned their title shot after a string of impressive performances on STRONG, but Aussie Open are still sore over a non-title defeat against the Guns on IMPACT. Now they seek to take both teams on and make a huge mark before their Japanese debut in Osaka November 5.
Clark Connors will take on Minoru Suzuki one on one. A last minute addition to Forbidden Door’s four way to become AEW’s first All Atlantic Champion, Connors stunned in his Chicago performance, and was set to take on Davey Richards weeks later in Nashville. Yet during training, a herniated back flared up badly, to the point where he was close to never walking, yet alone wrestling again. After dedicated rehab, he is now back in action and wants to make an instant impact on his return. Can he survive the King, Minoru Suzuki?
Rocky Romero and YOH will take on Yujiro Takahashi and SHO, as HOUSE OF TORTURE make their United States debuts. SHO’s betrayal of YOH last year tore apart one of the greatest junior heavyweight tag teams, and one Rocky Romero orchestrated in Roppongi 3K. Now Romero finally teams with YOH to give closure to a year long feud between CHAOS and H.O.T.
