Kushida and Ikemen Jiro have a team name.
In recent weeks, Kushida and Jiro have bonded over their respective issues with Diamond Mine. Kushida lost the NXT Cruiserweight Title to Roderick Strong on September 21, while Jiro, on the other hand, has been targeting the Creed Brothers. After losing to Julius on October 12, he and Kushida caused a distraction at ringside that cost the brothers their match against Imperium the following week.
With a tag team match versus Julius and Brutus next week, Jiro and Kushida have finally decided on a team name; Jacket Time. It came into existence during a backstage interview, in which they were arguing over whether the name should have something to do with 'jackets' or 'time.'
The full interview, which includes Ikemen's pitch for them to be called 'Japanese-Japanese,' can be seen below:
Finally! We got the our team name!
