New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) announced, via a press release, the second match of the company's All-Star Junior Festival, which will take place on Saturday, August 19th from the legendary 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was announced that IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion Hiromu Takahashi will team with CMLL World Historic Welterweight Champion Rocky Romero to take on Master Wato and GCW World Champion Blake Christian as well as DOUKI and Low Rider in a huge 3-Way Tag Team Ladder Match for the Philly Cheesesteak Cup.
There is no word yet on what the Philly Cheesesteak Cup will look like and who the other participants will be in the tournament, but the name is fitting as it will take place in Philadelphia, the home of the original cheesesteak.
You can check out the full press release below:
“The All Star Junior Festival has the second match added to its lineup, and in the true spirit of the Festival it’s a… unique one. A ladder match will determine the winner of the first ever Philly Cheesesteak Cup, with three unique teams taking to the ring.”
“Of the trio of teams, DOUKI and Low Rider are the only duo to have teamed up together on the Mexican indie scene. Then there’s the spectacular prospect of both Blake Christian with Master Wato, and Rocky Romero with Hiromu Takahashi, but with neither of these combinations exactly similar in terms of character, can they even work well enough together to climb the ladder to success and… sandwiches? Find out August 19!”
