NJPW has announced a new matchup for its April 8th Sakura Genesis pay-per-view event.
A mystery six-man tag team matchup will take place on a show that already features top champions Kazuchika Okada and Mercedes Moné in action. Fans will not know who is competing in the matchup until the matchup itself. Full details, including an updated card for Genesis, can be found below.
NJPW’s variety TV Asahi show Shinnichi Champion is celebrating finally winning the grand prize in a recent poll, one where the grand prize was a nationally broadcast TV special. During the special, much discussion was centered on classic entrance music, sparking this special match to start the night. This six man tag bout will have participants only revealed when they make their entrance, meaning that two wild combinations could be squaring off April 8!
