New Japan Pro-Wrestling has announced the card for this week’s episode of NJPW STRONG.
In the main event, Ren Narita will take on Fred Rosser. In another featured bout, Wheeler Yuta will face Jay White in an exciting match. The preview for the second contest, courtesy of the NJPW website, is as follows:
The second match of the night sees a big opportunity for Wheeler Yuta as he goes up against NEVER Openweight Champion Swicthblade Jay White. White’s title, defended against David Finlay back at Resurgence, will not be on the line tonight in Long Beach, but Yuta could buy himself a shot down the line with a win at Fighting Spirit Unleashed.
That obviously is an easier task said than done. After aggressively denying the challenge of Tomohiro Ishii to the NEVER gold in LA, Jay will be looking to remind the world that he defends his title on his own schedule, not anybody else’s.
The updated card is as follows:
- Yuya Uemura & Yuji Nagata vs The DKC & Kevin Knight
- Wheeler Yuta vs Jay White
- Fred Rosser vs Ren Narita
