Special Match To Be Announced

After the last four matchups in the first round took place last night on NJPW World,

we now have the final 16 to take place in round two confirmed. BUSHI, YOSHI-HASHI, Hirooki Goto

and EVIL all booked their place in round two, and will face off next Wednesday, July 3 for a place in the quarter finals.

YOH and BUSHI kicked proceedings off for the evening. With a new look and entrance music,

YOH had a fresh attitude, and a lot of energy in the early going, wiping BUSHI out

with a plancha. BUSHI went to what brought him to the dance though, choking YOH

across the ropes before slowing the pace of the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion.

A Space Rolling Elbow put YOH back in charge, and YOH would push his advantage

with another Keiji Muto influence, the Figure Four. YOH would punish the head

as well as the legs, with a leg crossed Falcon Arrow he’s calling the Blind Falcon,

but YOH’s momentum was harshly cut when BUSHI cut him off at

the ropes and landed his signature apron DDT NJPW .

NJPW would evade a follow-up MX, landing some hard German Suplexes as both men began

to dig deep. A flying Complete Shot from YOH led into Stargazer, but BUSHI found

his feet and took YOH off his own with a Codebreaker at the 15 minute mark.

An MX followed, and BUSHI was through NJPW.

YOSHI-HASHI was next to book his spot when he got past Hiroyoshi Tenzan.

After a snug lockup, things quickly turned into a battle of brute force, with

Tenzen not backing down an inch to some hard hits from the Headhunter.

YOSHI-HASHI would pick at Tenzan’s vertical base, however and did heavy

damage outside of the ring to take firm control of the match.
