4th Match: Toa Henare & Juice Robinson vs BULLET CLUB (KENTA & Jay White)

An imposing duo of BULLET CLUB’s briefcase club heads to the ring in the fourth match of the evening as KENTA and Jay White stand opposite Juice Robinson and Toa Henare.

With Juice still demanding payback for KENTA costing he and David Finlay the World Tag League, the Flamboyant One will want to end his 2020 with an impact. 

As too will Toa Henare. After a 2020 that appeared to hold so much potential was waylaid by the global climate,

Henare has one more chance to end on a high note tonight.

Could that high note come with a strong performance against his countryman and the main eventer on January 5 against Tetsuya Naito or Kota Ibushi?

3rd Match: KOPW2020: Bad Luck Fale vs Toru Yano

The third match of the evening will see the King of Pro-Wrestling for 2020 decided, as Bad Luck Fale challenges Toru Yano.

At the Nippon Budokan, the ever confident Yano attempted to achieve beyond his physical abilities, trying repeatedly to bodyslam the huge Fale, to little avail. Post match.

the Rogue General would destroy Yano’s trophy, and then issue a challenge to a bodyslam match, a challenge the somewhat humbled Yano made a counteroffer for.

Yano’s stipulation of bodyslam, or for the last of four cornerpads removed being, what decides the match seems to present an intriguing test of both strength.

and speed that has proved to be the most popular so far among fans, as our fan poll has been leaning toward Yano over the last week.

Could success in the polls translate to success in the ring? Or can Fale emerge as the king of our sport for the year 2020?
