John Siino reviews this week’s editions of AEW Dark, AEW Dark: Elevation, NXT UK, NWA Powerrr, 205 Live, NJPW Strong, Ring of Honor, and Main Event in under 15 minutes on Shot In The Dark.
This week on NJPW Strong, we crown the first ever NJPW Strong Openweight Champion as ‘Filthy’ Tom Lawlor and Brody King face off in the finals of the New Japan Cup USA 2021, and the winner immediately gets confronted by the first challenger.
NXT UK saw the reunion of Moustache Mountain after over a year of not teaming up as well as the announcement of a Loser Leaves Town match.
And on AEW Dark: Elevation we get an excellent spotlight on ‘Legit’ Leyla Hirsch, the debut of former EVOLVE talent and the return of Anthony Bowens to The Acclaimed.
Also, Marty ‘the Moth’ Casaus debuts on AEW Dark, six-man action with major implications on NWA Powerrrr, mayhem amongst stables on ROH, Tom Phillips debuts on 205 Live, the unstoppable Mansoor on Main Event and more!
