NJPW’S New Japan Cup 2018 continues with its excellent blend of storytelling and wrestling as on Night 7, Hiroshi Tanahashi defeated Juice Robinson. Robinson has come a long way since his days as CJ Parker in NXT and surely Triple H and company have to their eyes on Robison after the excellent performances he’s given since showing up to New Japan.
On Night 8, the technical wizard known as Zack Sabre Jr has defeated Sanada to advance in the finals and take on Hiroshi Tanahashi, which should be a fantastic match.
