Future directions seem set for autumn battles as the world of professional wrestling continues to deliver surprises and intense rivalries. In a recent eight-man tag match at Ryogoku, HENARE, Jeff Cobb, Great-O-Khan, and Will Ospreay faced off against LIJ’s Yota Tsuji, BUSHI, Hiromu Takahashi, and Shingo Takagi. The match not only ended in a surprise finish but also led to a series of events both inside and outside the ring.
The highly anticipated bout showcased Ospreay carrying his newly won IWGP UK Championship into the battle. However, his reign was cut short when Tsuji delivered a massive Gene Blaster spear to stop Ospreay’s attempted Hidden Blade. Tsuji followed up with another spear, resulting in a monumental upset victory over the weakened Ospreay. As Tsuji celebrated his triumph by holding the UK Championship high, HENARE found himself momentarily alone.

Seizing the opportunity, Eddie Kingston launched an attack on HENARE as payback for the Face of Fury’s previous assault. The two fierce competitors brawled backstage, and Kingston proposed a match for the STRONG Openweight Championship in Las Vegas on October 28 at Fighting Spirit Unleashed.
Meanwhile, Great-O-Khan had his own business to settle with Shingo Takagi backstage. He interrupted Takagi’s post-match comments to launch a surprise attack on the Dragon. This incident raises questions about a possible connection between the two rivalries during the Road to Destruction series.
These developments have left fans eagerly anticipating the upcoming battles and the potential storylines that will unfold. The world of professional wrestling is known for its unpredictability, and this recent turn of events only adds to the excitement.
