Plus, NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion Fred Rosser will live up to his nickname as "Mr. No Days Off."
In a tweet, NJPW shared a clip of Rosser issuing an open challenge for NJPW Rumble on 44th Street. In his challenge, he stated that he's willing to face anyone, no matteer what company they're from.
Rosser's most recent defense ended in a double countout; he faced Chris Dickinson at NJPW Autumn Action.
