New Beginning in Atlanta: IWGP Tag Team Championship Main Event!【NJoA】

Wrestle Kingdom rematch sees FinJuice vs GoD in Atlanta main!

Tickets are on sale for New Beginning in Atlanta! Buy here NOW!

The full cards have been announced for New Bginning USA! The series ends February 1 at the Coca-Cola Roxy, with David Finlay in his home town of Atlanta and Juice Robinson defending their freshly won IWGP Tag Team Championships against the Guerrillas of Destiny. 

On January 4 at the Tokyo Dome, FinJuice overcame seemingly insurmountable odds to leave as IWGP Tag Team Champions. At New Year Dash!!, more than one new contender seemed to potentially enter the fray as heavyweight tag teams stole the show in Ota. Yet top of the heap in terms of contenders to the new champions are the former five time champs GoD. The Tokyo Dome curse may have struck for Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa at Wrestle Kingdom, but they’ll be looking to make sure to tell the world this was all but a blip, and will be looking to take back what they feel is rightfully theirs.

In the semi-main, Kota Ibushi will take on Chase Owens. At New Year Dash!! Owens claimed he ‘had a plan’, apparently to recruit Kota Ibushi into BULLET CLUB, but this plan was quickly refuted by the Golden Star. As Owens rocked Ibushi with some heavy blows through the match, the self proclaimed Crown Jewel of BULLET CLUB called Ibushi out on social media, and now Ibushi will accept that singles challenge in Atlanta.

Jeff Cobb meets Lance Archer one on one. After a hard fought, brutal Texas Deathmatch in the Tokyo Dome, Archer was ultimately defeated by Jon Moxley with a Deathrider through two tables. Now the Muderhawk Monster wants to get right back in contention, but he will have to do it against a Jeff Cobb motivated to make 2020 his year in NJPW.

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express are back in NJPW for New Beginning! They reform a successful trio with Hiroshi Tanahashi as they take on Clark Connors, Alex Zayne and TJP. Truly a meeting of past present and future in one match, this should be a thrilling six man contest.

With Colt Cabana & Toru Yano facing Jado & Yujiro Takahashi, Rocky Romero & YOSHI-HASHI meeting Misterioso & Alex Coughlin, and Yuji Nagata & Satoshi Kojima facing Ren Narita & Karl Fredericks, Atlanta get an unmissable evening at the Roxy February 1!
