NJPW Strong Quick Results
New Japan Cup USA 2021 Qualifier: Tom Lawlor pinned The DKC in 9:13 ( ¼)
New Japan Cup USA 2021 Qualifier: Lio Rush pinned Rocky Romero in 13:57 ( ½)
We open with a video promoting tonight’s main event – the qualifier between Rocky Romero and Lio Rush. Rocky tells us if he wins the New Japan Cup USA, he’ll go for the IWGP junior title, rather than Jon Moxley’s US title…
Cue titles, cue Kevin Kelly and Alex Koslov in studio… there’s an advert for the Strong Spirits game that was announced earlier this year, and some guard rails too in the background. I think this may be a new set of tapings? We get a video hyping up the “prestiguous” New Japan Cup USA tournament… and then it’s off to the races.
NJPW has announced that the New Japan Cup USA tournament will begin on April 3, but before that, episodes of NJPW Strong will feature qualifying matches. The qualifying matches for the eight-man tournament begin on the March 5 episode of NJPW Strong: Road to Strong Style Evolved.
The main event will be Lio Rush vs. Rocky Romero for a spot in the tournament. Another qualifying match for that episode will feature THE DKC against Tom Lawlor. There will also be a tag team match on that show, with Karl Fredericks & Alex Coughlin against Clark Connors & Kevin Knight.
