New Japan Pro Wrestling has confirmed the "Filthy" Tom Lawlor versus Yuji Nagata match for April 16 at Windy City Riot at Odeum Expo Center in Chicago, Illinois.
The promotion released an announcement this week to announce the bout for their 4/16 show in "The Windy City."
Check out the complete press release below.
With a successful eighth defense over Clark Connors this week on STRONG, Tom Lawlor has assured that he will pass one year as STRONG Openweight Champion,. New Japan’s longest current reigning champion by along margin, Tom Lawlor seems all but invulnerable, but he will have to make his next defence in short order.
After a video challenge issued this week, Lawlor will be putting his title on the line at Windy City Riot in Chicago against Blue Justice, Yuji Nagata. The Third Generation member will be hunting for his first singles championship in six years on April 16. While last summer saw Satoshi Kojima come close to the gold only to fall short, can Lawlor’s second Japanese challenger end up taking the STRONG gold out of the Filthy One’s hands?
