NJPW issued the following press release announcing a new matchup for the August 20th Multiverse United 2 event, which is being held in conjunction with IMPACT Wrestling.
Frankie Kazarian, BUSHI, Kevin Knight, Chris Sabin, Rich Swann, Mao, and El Desperado will all be competing in a Scramble match. Details are below.
Multiverse United 2 continues to look loaded, and has yet another wild match added to the lineup. With MU2 taking place less than 24 hours removed from All Star Junior Festival 2023, it makes sense for the junior heavyweights to be leveraged in all star weekend, and that means an insane seven man scramble that will highlight the best of both the Japanese junior heavyweights and IMPACT’s X Division. Who comes out on top when BUSHI, El Desperado, MAO, Rich Swann, Chris Sabin Kevin Knight and Kazarian are all in the mix? find out next Sunday!
A wild X Division and junior heavyweight scramble set for Multiverse United 2!
Seven go to battle- who emerges victorious?
