NJPW reveals full Strong Style Evolved card, Mercedes Mone vs. Hazuki to main event
NJPW has revealed the full card for Sunday’s Strong Style Evolved event.
The show will officially be headlined by Mercedes Mone defending the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship against Hazuki, a match made when Hazuki won a four-way number one contender’s match at last month’s Fighting Spirit Unleashed show.
It will be the second NJPW event Mone has headlined this year, as she also headlined Capital Collision for the promotion in August against Momo Watanabe.
The only new match for Sunday’s event is a six-man tag team contest featuring a preview of the Wrestle Kingdom main event, as IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Zack Sabre Jr. teams with Bad Dude Tito and Shane Haste against Sabre’s Wrestle Kingdom challenger Shota Umino, Fred Rosser, and Tom Lawlor.
Sunday’s event will stream on NJPW World for subscribers, with Triller also offering the show as a pay-per-view for those not subscribed to NJPW World.
