Chase Owens has sadly pulled out of the remainder of World Tag League due to a death in his family and will be heading back home. NJPW announced that he and his partner Bad Luck Fale will be pulled from the rest of the tournament and two points will be handed to their upcoming scheduled opponents due to forfeit. You can see NJPW’s full statement below.
Thank you for supporting New Japan Pro-Wrestling.

We apologize to fans who were looking forward to seeing Chase wrestle, and appreciate your understanding. Tonight’s scheduled bout between Fale and Owens and Bishamon will be cancelled. For the remainder of the tour, Chase and Fale’s World Tag League matches will be forfeited, and two points awarded to their scheduled opponents.
