Undertaker To Drive Pace Car At EchoPark Grand Prix, John Cena Praises The Miz | Fight Size



Here is your fight size update for Saturday, March 26, 2022.

– Undertaker will be the honorary pace car driver for this weekend’s Echo Park Grand Prix.

Roman Reigns will be appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday, March 30.

Ronda Rousey is set to appear on the Tuesday, March 29 episode of Ellen to promote WrestleMania 38.

– Today’s episode of Talking Smack featured Sasha Banks & Naomi, the reunited New Day, and Los Lotharios.

John Cena praised The Miz for being one of his favorite ‘bad guys’ in WWE and for being one of his favorite WrestleMania opponents. He then told Miz that he vividly remembers their match and how hard Miz worked leading up to and at the event.

-Lilian Garcia shared a tribute to Triple H on her Facebook page after finding out about his retirement from in-ring competition. She wrote the following:

“Just heard about @tripleh ‘s in ring retirement! He was my very FIRST Smackdown interview on the very FIRST Smackdown show ever! I literally met him moments before doing the interview (second slide ) and was so incredibly nervous.

Triple H, I truly wish you the best and thank you for pushing me to always be MY best! You were a hard one to crack but grateful we were able to form a friendship in the end! Thank you for everything you have given this industry. It was an honor to announce your matches and watch your incredible athleticism! #goat”

– NJPW has revealed the full card for March 27s New Japan Cup Finals.

The main event will see the New Japan Cup final contested between Zack Sabre Jr. and Tetsuya Naito. This eighth singles meeting between the two men will see Sabre seek to even a 3-4 balance against his opposition in order to seize his second New Japan Cup, while Naito seeks to get more recent revenge on the way to his own second crown. Opening weekend in G1 Climax 31, Sabre submitted Naito and eliminated him from the entire competition in Osaka. Can Naito right that wrong and take a big step toward his ticket for the 2023 January 4 Tokyo Dome main event?

A special tag team match sees Satoshi Kojima, Tiger Mask, Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kazuchika Okada face CIMA, El Lindaman and T-Hawk of #STRONGHEARTS and the surprise addition of Tatsumi Fujinami. The legendary figure will be assisting some future legends, as Osaka gets a taste of NJPW 50th Anniversary action, but will the outsiders be able to defeat a formidable home team?

Saturday night saw a surprising violent attack from EVIL and Dick Togo after Hiromu Takahashi’s bout had ended. Apparently furious at his loss to Takahashi during the New Japan Cup, EVIL saw to it that the Time Bomb was choked out at the hands of Dick Togo and his steel wire. Now the NEVER Openweight Champion has to face some consequences for his actions, as EVIL and Togo face Hiromu and Shingo Takagi.

The United Empire side of Will Ospreay, Great-O-Khan, Aaron Henare and Jeff Cobb face Tomoaki Honma, Togi Makabe, YOSHI-HASHI and Hirooki Goto. With the IWGP Tag Team Champions involved, and after Cobb and O-Khan had harsh words for YOSHI-HASHI last night, could this be a chance for one duo within United Empire to stake a claim?

TAKA Michinoku and El Desperado face off against Yujiro Takahashi and SHO. Saturday night saw SHO again make violent overtures to the IWGP Junior heavyweight Championship as HOUSE OF TORTURE emerged victorious from tag team action. Sunday, Desperado must either emphatically rebuff SHO, or have his hand forced into a title match sooner rather than later.

YOH, Tomohiro Ishii and Toru Yano will face Minoru Suzuki, Taichi and Yoshinobu Kanemaru. A pair of personal vendettas continued to develop Saturday in Osaka Jo, when Ishii and Suzuki brawled all over Oska-Jo Hall before Yano doused Taichi with whiskey in victory. Revenge is on the mind of Taichi, for whom Strong Spirits was more than just a videogame Saturday.

After a first time teaming up with Hiroshi Tanahashi on Saturday, G.o.D and Six or Nine reunite with Jado to face BULLET CLUB. After Jado was overeager to jump in the ring and beat up former partner Gedo last night, a disqualification frustrated the Hontai side as BULLET CLUB had the last laugh yet again. Can they turn the tide Sunday?

The opening match of the night sees BUSHI face Kosei Fujita. After receiving a bye to the second round of the New Japan Cup, Fujita fell to YOSHI-HASHI, but will end the tour with another singles opportunity against an established name in BUSHI. Will he step up to the task?
