NJPW recently had the first day of their STRONG Hight Alert Event, which emanated from the Grady Cole Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The show saw Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis) face the team of Yuya Uemura and Christopher Daniels in the final match of the NJPW STRONG Openweight Tag Team Championship Tournament in the main event. NJPW Strong takes place every Saturday night on NJPW World and FITE TV.
Below are the results from the show, courtesy of NJPW1972.com:
- Shane Haste def. Jorel Nelson in a Singles Match.
- Hikuleo def. Big Damo in a Singles Match.
- Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis) def. Yuya Uemura and Christopher Daniels in the finals of the NJPW STRONG Openweight Tag Team Championship Tournament to become the inaugural NJPW STRONG Openweight Tag Team Champions.
Let's get STRONG!
