New NEVER Openweight Champion Crowned At NJPW Wrestling Dontaku, Good Brothers Return
The Good Brothers are back in NJPW.
Tama Tonga won the NEVER Openweight Championship at NJPW Wrestling Dontaku, defeating EVIL to capture the title. The finish saw Tama hit EVIL with the gun stun to pick up the victory.
Tama’s celebration was short-lived as The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows) made their return to NJPW. The duo took out Tama and then laid out Tanga Loa and Jado as well.
