Joining the NJPW STRONG roster in 2021 with West Coast Wrecking Crew partner Royce Isaacs, the duo reached the semifinals of the summer’s Tag team Turbulence tournament. In doing so, they caught the attention of Team Filthy. After a hard fought battle against JR Kratos and Danny Limelight on STRONG, they were handpicked by Tom Lawlor to join the group, where Nelson is just as dangerous as a singles competitor as he is with his WCWC brother Isaacs.
