MCMG vs. Tanahashi & Okada vs. Aussie Open official for NJPW Capital Collision

An all-star triple threat match for this month’s NJPW Capital Collision will see NJPW Strong Tag Team Champions Motor City Machine Guns defend against Aussie Open and Hiroshi Tanahashi & Kazuchika Okada in a three-way.

The pay-per-view is set for April 15th from the Entertainment and Sports Arena in Washington, DC.

The match was made following an angle shot after Thursday’s Impact x NJPW Multiverse United. Following his victory over Mike Bailey, Tanahashi was being interviewed backstage when he was confronted by the Machine Guns. Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley respectfully asked for a match against he and Okada, but before Tanahashi could respond, Aussie Open entered the scene.
