New championship match added to the San Jose show.
New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s Battle in the Valley event on 2/18 is sold out and the company is pushing out matches for the event as it inches closer.
The latest addition to the card is a STRONG Tag Team Championship match that will see the reigning champions Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) defend against West Coast Wrecking Crew (Royce Isaacs & Jorel Nelson).
Nelson and Isaacs approached Sabin and Shelley in a video released by NJPW. Motor City Machine Guns accepted the challenge and NJPW confirmed it.
