Dragon Gate USA has announced the following over at DGUSA.tv:
January 4th: Open The Freedom Gate Champion BxB Hulk has responded to Jon Moxley’s promo yesterday. He answered with a resounding "YES" and will now face the toughest series of matches in his life. Here’s how things shape up:
Jan. 28th – Manhattan, NY
Open The Freedom Gate Title Match
BxB Hulk defends vs. YAMATO
Jan. 29th – Philadelphia, PA
Open The Freedom Gate Title Match (if Hulk is still Champion)
BxB Hulk defends vs. Jon Moxley
Jan. 30th – Union City, NJ
Open The Freedom Gate Title Match (if Hulk is still Champion)
BxB Hulk defends vs. Akira Tozawa
Some interesting things to note here are that Moxley said he had someone else to address in his promo. We expect to hear from him again this week about that. The order of the matches here is interesting, too. Tozawa has not done anything to get into contention, but he would have the best shot at winning the title if Hulk can make it through the first two nights. That is a big "if." YAMATO has to be considered the toughest challenger of the three, especially with his history against Hulk. If Hulk gets past YAMATO, Moxley can pick at the scraps. If Hulk makes it through this Kamikaze USA Gauntlet he can claim to be the greatest Champion in this sport. Tickets for all three events are now on sale in the DGUSA.tv Store or by calling 267-519-9744.
January 4th: In a related note, if Hulk loses the title on either the first or second night, his matches on the following events will have an added stipulation to make up for the fact that they will not be title matches.
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
