More details later but the semi finals of the NJC Cup are set as Bernard vs. Yoshie and Nagata vs. Goto the rematch after Goto scored a big win over his RISE leader Nakamura. The other big news is that Takao Omori appeared after a lengthy break from pro wrestling to shake hands with Nakanishi, sparking the reformation of Wild Child who look set to challenge Team 3D for the IWGP Tag Team Title at Sumo Hall! Tiger Mask vs. Black Tiger in a possible mask vs. title is also looking likely, as is Nakamura vs. Makabe in a rematch from the NJC.
