Shane Haste, formerly known as Shane Thorn in WWE made his return to New Japan Pro Wrestling. Haste aligned himself with JONAH and Bad Dude Tito. His former TMDK tag team partner Mike Nicholls is also on the NJPW roster, which could lead to a possible reunion in the future.

Mascara Dorada formerly known as Gran Metalik also made an appearance at the taping. He was already announced for Strong Style Evolved in March but this is his first appearance after being released in May.

DiscussPW is a mix of Pro Wrestling and Entertainment. The site was started in 2016 and has gone through many changes over the years. Our main focus was events and tickets, but then the pandemic happened. We had to mix things up and will now be doing a lot more news. Events will still be covered, just as news instead of on a calendar. This site had an extensive events calendar, which we have moved away from. Pro wrestling has always been our main thing, we also do a lot of entertainment though. For example, we post movie trailers, tv previews and other kinds of news. We have a few discussions but strongly encourage comments on all of our posts. Be sure to keep things civil while commenting. If you have any questions or concerns, contact us above.
