JONAH, Brody King And More To Compete On 1/15 NJPW STRONG

New Japan-Pro Wrestling has announced an exciting lineup for the January 15 episode of NJPW STRONG, which will deliver three more matches from the “Nemesis” taping that was held on December 9.

JONAH will battle David Finlay, and Dave Dutra will make his debut against Brody King. Plus, the LA Dojo will battle the Stray Dog Army in a tag team match when Karl Fredericks and Kevin Knight face Bateman and Misterioso.

The preview, courtesy of the NJPW website, is as follows:

Main Event: JONAH vs. David Finlay

When JONAH made his NJPW debut at Battle in the Valley, he was quick to instantly target both Juice Robinson and David Finlay. Declaring that FinJuice’s fun loving nature had no place in his vision for New Japan and STRONG, the Top Dog left both former tag champs laying before wrestling his first official match days later in Riverside California. After a quick and easy victory over Lucas Riley on the Detonation series, Finlay was not going to let the big man’s assault go unanswered and cleared the ring of the super heavyweight, leading to this singles contest. Can Finlay stop the Top Dog in his tracks?

Brody King vs. Dave Dutra

Our second match of the evening will see Dave Dutra make his NJPW STRONG debut opposite Brody King. The west coast independent veteran brings with him clear strength and an impressive track record, but is it enough to compete with the pure violence of his opponent tonight in Hollywood?

LA Dojo (Karl Fredericks & Kevin Knight) vs. Stray Dog Army (Bateman & Misterioso)

Action kicks off tonight with Karl Fredericks and Kevin Knight taking on Stray Dog Army’s Bateman and Misterioso. Having formed last summer, NJPW STRONG’s freshest faction needs to get a signature win to kick off 2022. Yet as Kevin Knight continues to make his rise through the ranks, and with Karl Fredericks looking to make significant strides as a consistent main eventer this year, they will not give an inch to Bateman and Misterioso.

NJPW STRONG airs every Saturday on NJPW World and FITE.
