Minoru Suzuki vs. Nick Gage set for October 23 GCW event

A match between Nick Gage and Minoru Suzuki was made for next month’s GCW event in Los Angeles.

At tonight’s Highest in the Room event, Suzuki defeated Jonathan Gresham and was celebrating when Gage came out and confronted Suzuki. The two brawled, with Gage sending Suzuki out of the ring. He told Suzuki that he wanted to fight him. Suzuki acted like he was going to re-enter the ring, but instead accepted his challenge and left.

Announcers confirmed that the challenge was for their event on October 23 in Los Angeles. Bloodsport 7, which was also announced during tonight’s event, will take place the day prior at the Ukrainian Cultural Center, which was where tonight’s show took place.

Suzuki has spent September touring the United States. He has appeared on AEW television, losing to Jon Moxley on the September 8 edition of Dynamite. He will team with Lance Archer to take on Moxley and Eddie Kingston next week in a Lights Out match that will air as part of a special two-hour Grand Slam edition of AEW Rampage that will be held at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York.
