Another championship matchup has been added to Fighting Spirit Unleashed, as Tama Tonga will put the NEVER Openweight Championship on the line against Shingo Takagi. 

During the G1 this year, a match Tama had been greatly looking forward to against Takagi ended in a 20 minute time limit draw. Both would acknowledge that there was business left unfinished, and though Tama would go on to win the NEVER Openweight gold against David Finlay in a hard fought war in Ryogoku, the new champion was quick to point out that he needed to finish what had been started with the Dragon. 

For his part, Shingo wrestled an instant classic on October 14 against Tomohiro Ishii in London. Takagi didn’t have much time to celebrate his win though, before Tama would greet the victor and raise the issue of settling the score. Takagi suggested Vegas as the place, and now we have a time and venue. With both having proven in recent bouts they’re willing to do anything to succeed, this should be a match to remember for fans at Sam’s Town Live October 28!
