NJPW Strong Tag Team title match official for Capital Collision
The NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Championships will be defended at Capital Collision.
CMLL’s Hechicero & Virus will challenge TMDK’s Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls for the titles on the August 30 pay-per-view in Washington, DC.
NJPW officially announced the match today after Hechicero & Virus issued a challenge to the champions last Friday.
“Hello friends, it’s Hechicero the savior and little professor Virus. We have a message we need to send to Zack Sabre Jr. and his group,” Virus said.
“TMDK, I know that in this moment we are the best and grimiest technical wrestlers in CMLL. The Professor Virus and the Alchemist Hechicero. We have a date, August 30, Washington, DC. TMDK, it’s the end for you because we want to challenge for your titles,” added Hechicero.
Nicholls and Haste won the titles at NJPW Dominion on June 9 in a four-way bout against KENTA & Chase Owens, Bishamon, and the former champions El Phantasmo & Hikuleo. It’s their second reign with the belts. Their first lasted a little under a month after they won the titles at NJPW Windy City Riot on April 12, 2024, but then lost them at NJPW Resurgence on May 11.
