NJPW also confirmed that the Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) will defend the NJPW STRONG Openweight Tag Team Championship against the West Coast Wrecking Crew (Jorel Nelson & Royce Isaacs). Nelson and Isaacs confronted the champions backstage following their match on the January 21 episode of NJPW STRONG to set up the bout. Sabin and Shelley won the titles at NJPW Rumble on 44th Street in October.
