West Coast Wrecking Crew Win NJPW Strong Tag Titles At Strong Style Evolved


West Coast Wrecking Crew are now champions.



Jorel Nelson & Royce Issacs defeated the Grizzled Young Veterans at Strong Style Evolved on Sunday to win the titles for the first time. The finish came when Issacs rolled up James Drake while Issacs had Zack Gibson tied up on the outside.


After the match, Rocky Romero came out and officially challenged them to a title match at Battle in the Valley on January 11 in San Jose, saying former Roppongi 3K member YOH would be teaming with him. Nelson & Issacs responded by attacking Romero, with Issacs laying him out with a German Suplex.


The Grizzled Young Veterans only held the titles for a little over a month, defeating TMDK to win the titles for the first time at Fighting Spirit Unleashed.


Two other title matches took place at Strong Style Evolved. Gabe Kidd successfully defended the Strong Openweight title against Ryohei Oiwa. Mercedes Mone will defend the Strong Women’s Championship against Hazuki in the main event.
