After signing a new extension with NJPW, Juice Robinson is ready to wreak havoc in Bullet Club
Hiroshi Tanahashi regained the IWGP United States championship for a record third time earlier this month at New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s Wrestling Dontaku.
Tanahashi defeated Tomohiro Ishii to regain the belt, which was vacated after Sanada’s reign came to a sudden end when he broke an orbital bone. After Tanahashi’s victory, he was distracted by Bullet Club’s Chase Owens, which led to a blindside attack from the group’s newest member, Juice Robinson.
