Aussie Open might have recently failed to claim the IWGP World Tag Team Championships, they remain the NJPW Strong Tag Team Champions, and are the only team to have ever held the belts. Tonight, they meet tag team legends in the Motor City Machine Guns and two Young Lions of the LA Dojo with The DKC & Kevin Knight.
Both teams are keen to leave with gold around their waists, with Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley looking to add to their legacy, and DKC & Knight looking to write the first chapter of theirs. DKC & Knight would defeat former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champions in Forever Hooligans (Rocky Romero & Alex Koslov) last night – proving they have the skills to be champions.
Aussie Open Show Clear Tag Team Dominance
This one would nearly end up as a brawl before the bell even rang, before Fletcher would kick things off with DKC. He’d go after the wrist of DKC, before being taken down and having his ankle torqued. DKC would give the hold up and hit the ropes, only to be dropped with a back elbow smash.
Davis would hit the ring, and DKC & Knight would use their speed to chop the powerhouse down. Fletcher would be rolled up for a two count, before hitting a scoop slam. Knight would get tripped up by Sabin & Shelley, who would insert themselves into the match – getting face to face with Aussie Open in the ring.
MCMG would hit a double superkick, before they’d be picked up into dual spinebusters, but was used to drop DKC & Knight instead of slammed down. On the floor, Aussie Open once again were weaponized, with DKC & Knight squished in the corner. Davis would isolate DKC with heavy strikes in the ring, before a scoop slam and senton for a one count after Knight made the save.
Knight would sent crashing into the barricade off the apron, before Davis would again try to pin DKC – only getting a one count. DKC would try to fight off Aussie Open, and would be able to force a rare miscue and tagged in Knight. A sky high dropkick to the face of Fletcher would follow, before a Pendulum DDT was blocked.
Aussie Open would throw Knight into a kick, only for him to find his feet to take Fletcher off the top rope – crashing into Davis. Knight would be hit with a combo cutter from Aussie Open, but was able to kick out. He’d be crushed with lariats to front and back, but countered the finisher of Aussie Open.
Sabin would tag himself into the match off of Fletcher, before sending him from the ring with a dropkick. MCMG would systematically destroy Knight in the corner, before Davis would insure a DDT wouldn’t catch Knight to end the match, as he kicked Sabin in the face. Aussie Open would be cast out to the floor, and DKC & Knight would keep them there for some dives after taking MCMG down.
DKC would nail a superkick to set up the Pendulum DDT from Knight for a near fall. Boston Crab was attempted in the ring, but Sabin was able to counter and hit a massive lariat. Skull & Bones would be blocked, with Knight rolling up Sabin for a near fall. A springboard crossbody would see Knight shot out of the sky with a dropkick, before Fletcher would hit the ring and took a cutter.
Davis would look for a double chokeslam on Sabin & Shelley, only to be cut down to size with some swift kicks. MCMG would set up the Muta Lock into a basement dropkick, before hitting Dirt Bomb for the victory! We have new STRONG Openweight Champions!
