NJPW Super Jr. finals set for Power Struggle

We have this year’s NJPW Super Junior Tag League finalists. It will be The House of Torture (Yoshinobu Kanemaru and Sho) versus Catch 2/2 (TJP and Francesco Akira) in finals this Saturday at Power Struggle.

2/2 defeated the Intergalactic Jet Setters (Kevin Knight and KUSHIDA) to solidify their spot in their finals. Jeff Cobb and Will Ospreay were at ringside cheering on their United Empire stablemates. They pinned Knight with the 2×2 running knee strikes.

The House of Torture had to pull off some shenanigans in their match against Master Wato and El Desperado to reach the final. It looked like Wato had Sho pinned with his bridging suplex but Sho kicked out at the last possible second. Wato looked like he had the match won with Recientemente II. Yoshinobu Kanemaru pulled Red Shoes out of the ring though stopping the count.

Evil, Dick Togo and Yujiro Takahashi hit the ring attacking Wato. El Desperado tried to save his partner. He was outnumbered though. Togo kicked him in the “lower abdomen”. Kanemaru nailed his former partner El Desperado in the head with his whiskey bottle. Wato fought back until he too was punched in the “lower abdomen” and then taken down with Evil’s Everything is Evil. Sho was placed on top of Wato as Red Shoes was thrown back into the ring to make the count.

At Power Struggle this Saturday you will see:
