EVIL reigns again.
EVIL won the NEVER Openweight Championship at NJPW New Beginning in Nagoya, defeating Tama Tonga in the main event.
The finish saw Ren Narita hit Tama with a pushup bar, allowing EVIL to hit EVCIL for the three.
The original bout lasted two minutes and was thrown out due to a brawl between HOUSE OF TORTURE and Guerrillas of Destiny. The match was restarted as a Lumberjack Deathmatch.
