Two Matches Added To NJPW STRONG Lonestar Shootout
Two bouts have been added to NJPW STRONG’s WrestleMania weekend event.
NJPW announced that JONAH will take on Blake Christian at NJPW STRONG Lonestar Shootout on April 1. Plus, Team Filthy’s Tom Lawlor, JR Kratos and Royce Isaacs battle Fred Rosser, the DKC and Alex Coughlin.
Both bouts will be taped for upcoming episodes of NJPW STRONG, separate from the special live FITE TV presentation.
From NJPW:
Blake Christian will face JONAH in Dallas. Since returning to NJPW STRONG, Blake Christian has found himself in high profile spots against established names in BULLET CLUB’s Chris Bey, before SW3RVE in Florida and now JONAH. Christian is a high risk performer, and this is a high risk, high reward position indeed for ‘All Heart’. With JONAH a seemingly unstoppable wrecking ball, can Christian knock the Top Dog off his perch?
Six man action will see Team Filthy’s Tom Lawlor, JR Kratos and Royce Isaacs take on Fred Rosser, the DKC and Alex Coughlin. Rosser and Lawlor’s rivalry has seen them to two consecutive match of the year honours on STRONG, and continues in six man action in Texas. Meanwhile, after Coughlin delivered a huge loss to JR Kratos months ago in Hollywood, the Most feared is hungry for revenge against the LA Dojo’s graduated former Young Lion. What happens at Lonestar Shootout?
