One last match has been announced by NJPW for Resurgence tonight.

Hikuleo to Collide with Juice Robinson at Resurgence!

Juice vs Hikuleo, six man dark match round out Resurgence card

The card for Resurgence got a surprise late addition this week on NJPW STRONG, as Hikuleo and Juice Robinson was added to the lineup. Hikuleo has been active on AEW Dark, and Dynamite in recent weeks, where he challenged Lance Archer for the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship, but still walked into competition with Fred Yehi this week without a match at The Torch. Taking to the mic after his victory, BULLET CLUB's Young Gun demanded competition, and Juice returned to Friday nights to respond to the challenge.

Despite returning to IMPACT in recent weeks, Juice hasn't stepped inside an NJPW ring since the New Japan Cup. Will Saturday see Robinson's Resurgence, or will Hikuleo continue his ascent?

Also official for Resurgence will be a six man dark match, only for fans at attendance in the Torch. Adrian Quest's issues with Barrett Brown continue, as he teams with The DKC and Kevin Knight of the LA Dojo to face Brown, Bateman, and Misterioso. This week on STRONG, Misterioso made a shocking appearance in the corner of .50 Caliber as he went to action against Wheeler Yuta. Now the trio of Misterioso, Bateman and Brown will be looking to make their mark, starting with this special kick off for fans in attendance at Resurgence. Make sure you reach your seats by 7:30PM to catch this bout!

The updated card is below. (NJPW)

* IWGP United States Championship: Lance Archer (c) vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi
* NEVER Openweight Championship: Jay White (c) vs. David Finlay
* Jon Moxley & a mystery partner vs. Impact Wrestling Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers
* Tomohiro Ishii vs. Moose
* Team Filthy (Tom Lawlor, JR Kratos, Jorel Nelson, Royce Isaacs, and Danny Limelight) vs. Lio Rush, Brody King, Chris Dickinson, Fred Yehi, and Yuya Uemura
* Rocky Romero, Fred Rosser, and Wheeler Yuta vs. Ren Narita, Clark Connor, and TJP
* Juice Robinson vs. Hikuleo
* Alex Coughlin vs. Karl Fredericks (Opening Match)
* Adrian Quest, The DKC, Kevin Knight vs. Barrett Brown, Misterioso, BATEMAN (Dark match at 7:30 pm local time)

Speaking of NJPW here are last night's Strong results.

* Barrett Brown beat Wheeler YUTA
* Hikuleo beat Fred Yehi
* Karl Fredericks & Lio Rush beat Danny Limelight & Tom Lawlor

And here's another NJPW announcement.

Lio Rush to Challenge Tom Lawlor for STRONG title

Rush's challenge official for first STRONG episodes with fans

Filthy Tom Lawlor's fourth defence of the STRONG Openweight Championship will take place in Thunder Studios, at Fighting Spirit Unleashed and NJPW STRONG's first matches in front of a live crowd.

After Tom Lawlor recently logged his third successful defence of the STRONG Openweight Championship against Satoshi Kojima, he was confronted backstage by Lio Rush. The Man of the Hour declared that he was not going to wait for any more championship opportunities to come his way, and that he would be calling his shot. Lawlor laughed off Rush, but this week on STRONG, Rush and Karl Fredericks scored a convincing victory against Lawlor and his Team Filthy partner Danny Limelight.

Can Rush be the Man of the Hour and claim his first NJPW Championship? Fighting Spirit Unleashed tapings are SOLD OUT August 16, but get set to watch the championship action in the coming weeks on NJPW STRONG!

A new Ring of Honor video is below.

In this interview Fred Rosser f/k/a Darren Young talks about LGBTQIA representation in pro wrestling: "There's a lot of work to go. We need more reps, we need more reps at representation, we need more athletes speaking out. Being the first openly gay WWE Superstar, I have a duty to instill confidence in our youth and to lead by example. I'm not a social media type of person where I just talk about it, I go to the school before the pandemic, I speak to fifth graders, I speak to organizations like Viacom, I work with organizations like the Covenant House in LA that deals with LGBTQ homeless youth - 42% of it - so I'm always grinding away. I'm not a doctor, I'm not a psychiatrist but I am a friend. That's why I call myself the Suntan Superman. I've got to be a support system, a beacon of hope for not only the LGBTQ, not only the African-American, not only the Asian community but all communities."
