02:16We may be on the West Coast tonight, but forever known now and always world-class.
02:37This wrecking crew of Jarrell Nelson leading the pack, Royce Isaacs from behind, your strong
02:42openweight tag team champions walk in tonight, just a few defenses deep and looking to earn
02:49yet another one tonight over TJP and Templario.
02:52Strong and Isaacs, and they pursued the stronghold for so long, but it was only when they flipped
03:03this switch to this newfound level of aggression that they were finally victorious.
03:12And it truly seems like they will stop at nothing, they will hold on to these titles now that
03:34you can point to a lot of reasons as to why Jarrell Nelson and Royce Isaacs have leveled
03:46up their game as world-class wrecking crew, establishing themselves officially under that team name
03:53after they won the NJPW Strong's openweight tag team championship.
03:57Do you happen to think, Veda, that it could have anything to do with having left Team Filthy,
04:02gone out onto their own venture, and really having to take real ownership over their pro
04:07wrestling careers in 2024?
04:09Yeah, under the guidance of Tom Waller as part of Team Filthy, I mean, they were always, they
04:15were kind of always seen as second in command, and I feel like that started to become personal
04:19for them, and oh!
04:21Oh, well, yeah, you talk about personalities, Jarrell Nelson and Royce Isaacs have a couple
04:26of ulterior ones as we're getting into it tonight, the strong openweight tag team championship
04:31is on the line.
04:32Zeroing in here on TJP.
04:35And there are some keys to victory tonight.
04:38We'll talk all about them when we find some breathing room.
04:41There is no breathing room allowed with the Lucha Libre styling of Templario, and even that
04:46of TJP has spent a good amount of time competing in Mexico as well.
04:49Yeah, TJP has found success with a number of different tag team partners, and Jarrell Nelson
04:56is over here now.
04:57He just, please, please don't.
04:59Oh.
05:00Meanwhile, back in the ring.
05:05TJP taking it to the blue corner, Jarrell Nelson in the red, and now it is Templario continuing
05:10to work on the knee of Royce Isaacs.
05:13Templario, a hell of a run over the road to wrestling Don Taku, capped off midway through
05:17the tour just a few weeks ago.
05:21Wrestling Izen No Kuni had a junior heavyweight title match against El Desperado, showed out
05:26great in that title affair.
05:29As Templario looking to win New Japan gold at some point in 2025.
05:36Oh.
05:37And that first bit could come tonight.
05:39And we'll make it use his own partner as a weapon.
05:43As TJP with the cover, and it is only two.
05:46This is the first time that we have seen TJP and Templario in two-on-two action.
05:52And you have to keep in mind, it was TJ who invited Templario into United Empire.
05:58As we are all the leaders of our own individual islands, and now representation coming from
06:05the country of Mexico.
06:06I think it's a great pickup in Templario there.
06:08Yeah, and like I was saying, although TJP is clearly so experienced in a number of different
06:15tag combinations.
06:16Whoa, he's doing alright by himself right now.
06:19In recruiting Templario, you know that he could, he's always planning.
06:23He's always looking ahead.
06:24He saw how he would fit into United Empire.
06:27And it might be as strong as Oh Boy Tag Team Champion if they can get back on the same page here.
06:33Because at the same time, you really cannot discount the experience of World Class Wrecking Crew as a team.
06:40No, not at all.
06:41I mean, they are not just tag partners, they're friends, they're training partners.
06:47They have that silent level of communication that you see in experienced, cohesive tag teams.
06:54As Nelson and Isaacs now looking to continue their attack on the smallest member of this matchup.
07:00Biggest heart though in TJP.
07:02Up and down, driving the junior heavyweight.
07:06Here's the cover on TJ, and it is only two.
07:09You know, a lot of people were shocked they had TJP's lack of inclusion in Best of the Super Junior 32 this year.
07:17A lot of people assume to be a shoe-in for this year's tournament.
07:21Alongside Francesco Akira, also of United Empire, competing in Best of the Super Junior.
07:26TJ has made it very clear, he has no intention of competing in junior heavyweight action anymore.
07:31That gold that TJ is looking is going to come here in the United States.
07:35Could come here tonight.
07:36Yeah, these strong tag team championships are open weight titles.
07:40TJP, along with Templario, I mean, it would reestablish them for sure here.
07:46And, again, this is this new side of Jarrell Nelson and Royce Isaacs.
07:53This side that we have seen only now that they have become champions.
07:57Yeah, yeah, Royce Isaacs continuing, but all the way down to the throne of TJP.
08:06I've known a lot of people have wanted to do that before, and Royce Isaacs and Drell Nelson have been added to the list.
08:11And now taunting TJP as he reaches for the tag.
08:18Royce Isaacs staying in control.
08:21Wrenching back on the shoulders.
08:33You cannot overestimate, or underestimate rather, the power of being a long form tag team the way Royce Isaacs and Drell Nelson have been throughout their independent and New Japan pro wrestling careers.
08:48TJP and Templario incredible veterans in their own right with their first time teaming together.
08:54You know why I have those little Indio secrecies down.
08:56Hey!
08:57Jarrell Nelson.
08:58You hear that crowd crying on the table, buddy?

16:05And Isaacs with the muscle.
16:07Oh, just too strong. Wait a second.
16:10And TJ the same. Hell of an open weight right here.
16:15Isaacs tombstone pile driver.
16:23And a pop-out power bomb from Jarrell Nelson. It's not over yet.
16:29Two, three, four, three, four.
16:36Templadio clutching his spine. Look at Royce Isaacs.
16:44That is a man determined to earn his hush money tonight.
16:51Never thought we'd hear that in California.
16:55But now that they're world-class, they are not exactly favorites here.
16:59Yeah, the world aren't exactly favorites of them either.
17:03Let's see what they can muster up here.
17:07Where is Nelson going?
17:09Nelson on the top now.
17:12Oh.
17:16Oh.
17:17TJP, he got out of the way.
17:20Hey, Nelson.
17:21Nelson to the eyes.
17:22Oh, well, that's not what we want to see at all.
17:25Nelson.
17:26No, no, no.
17:27TJ backslide.
17:29Roll through, cover.
17:31Nelson with the cover.
17:32Broke it up.
17:33No, no, no.
17:37The official call then.
17:45That's three.
17:50We have new
17:52NJPW Strong
17:55Openweight Tag Team Champions.
17:58JJP, he knew what he was doing when he selected Deb Laio.
18:09He is going to be an M-Wire today.
18:21Eyes are close.
18:23Set.
18:24Oh, Jarrell Nelson now tearing apart our ringside area.
18:33He's not sad.
18:34Oh, and Feta, you better protect your headset with this man out here, too.
18:37Well, Jarrell Nelson and Royce Isaacs have proven themselves capable of a strong Openweight Tag Team Champion.
18:56That chapter of their career is over, and what comes next is yet to be determined.
19:02Now, it is the era, the time of United Empire.
19:07TJP and Tim Mario are on top.
19:10Here we go.
19:17I'm sure you have aّon.
19:19This is our variant.
19:29Oh, and Feteen, you better learn it.
19:34I love you, man.
19:37I love you, man.
19:39I love you, man.
19:41If you're here, now.
19:45That's how you love now.
19:47He said before, we have a lot of titles on the line here tonight.
19:56This could bode very well for challengers throughout the night that resurgence.
20:01And this is momentum in the favor, by the way, of United Empire's Francesco Atira,
20:06the lone UE member in Best of the Super Junior this year,
20:10which is going to kick off in less than six hours.
20:13We're going to talk all about that as we get in to your next few matches.
20:17And coming up next, it is set in stone.
20:20It is written in the stars.
20:21It is Bullet Club past versus Bullet Club present here tonight in Ontario.
20:31So, let's go.
20:35Oh.
