Buddy Matthews, Swerve Strickland, Big Damo, And More Featured On 4/23 NJPW STRONG
The lineup is set for Saturday’s episode of NJPW STRONG.
NJPW announced Buddy Matthews will go one-on-one with Yuya Uemura in the main event of the April 23 episode of NJPW STRONG.
Plus, Swerve Strickland will face Blake Christian. Lastly, Big Damo takes on John Skylar. The event airs at 8 p.m. ET on NJPW World.
Main event: Yuya Uemura vs Buddy Matthews
In the main event this week, Yuya Uemura faces Buddy Matthews. During the Rivals tour, AEW’s House of Black member faced Ren Narita, in a match where early confidence had Matthews quickly conceding that Narita represented a significant threat to the very best of competition. In the end, Murphy’s Law secured a very narrow victory indeed, and now Matthews faces another LA Dojo representative in Uemura. Furious after a controversial defeat at the hands of QT Marshall in Chicago, will Uemura be looking to bounce back in the biggest way possible?
2nd Match: Blake Christian vs SW3RVE
Another spectacular singles matchup will see Blake Christian face SW3RVE. Two of the brightest US stars of today will clash in what’s sure to be a high flying spectacle. But will it be the Realest picking up the win, or All Heart seeing the way to victory?
1st Match: Big Damo vs Jon Skyler
The action kicks off on STRONG this week with Big Damo facing Jon Skyler. Two debutants, both Damo and IMPACT’s Skyler are well travelled, experienced, capable and incredibly tough. Just who is tougher? Will Skyler’s wits be enough to cope with Damo’s size and power edge? We find out when action gets started Saturday at 8/7c!
