New IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Crowned At NJPW Power Struggle
El Desperado reclaims the gold.
At NJPW Power Struggle, El Desperado captured the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship when he defeated Robbie Eagles.
Both men worked the legs of their opponent throughout in an attempt to slow one another down. This led to the finish which saw Desperado reversing a roll up attempt to lock in Numero Dos, forcing Eagles to tap out after Desperado was able to roll him away from the ropes.
