At Sunday night’s NJPW Strong Style Evolved event, AEW’s Jack Perry and Konosuke Takeshita faced off against Shingo Takagi and Yota Tsuji. Despite tension between Perry and Takeshita, they managed to defeat their opponents.
The finish came when Perry hit a low blow to Tsuji and followed it up with a running knee for the pinfall.
Following the match, Takagi attacked Perry, leading to a beatdown by Takeshita and Perry. Hiromu Takahashi quickly intervened, fighting off Takeshita and Perry. At this point, The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) came into the ring and hit a superkick on Takahashi. Despite this, Jack Perry walked past the Bucks and left the ring.
The Young Bucks then announced their plans to challenge for the IWGP Tag Team Championships at NJPW x AEW Wrestle Dynasty.
