First matches official for NJPW Strong Fighting Spirit Unleashed
NJPW has announced the first two matches for their Saturday, October 28 Fighting Spirit Unleashed event.
CMLL will be heavily involved in the card, as both matches announced so far will feature talent from the Mexican promotion.
In a unique eight-man tag, Atlantis will team with Hiroshi Tanahashi, Mistico, and Atlantis Jr. against Rocky Romero, Tiger Mask, Soberano Jr., and Adrian Quest. The match is being promoted as a celebration of Atlantis’ 40th anniversary in pro wrestling.
Also announced, Stephanie Vaquer and Zeuxis will team against Lluvia and Johnnie Robbie in a women’s division tag team bout. Vaquer was part of a one-night tournament in May to crown the first-ever NJPW Strong Women’s Champion.
The Fighting Spirit Unleashed event is being run under the NJPW Strong branding and will air on pay-per-view, with the show later airing as part of the weekly NJPW Strong show on NJPW World.
Sam’s Town in Las Vegas, Nevada will host the event.
