On Wednesday, Impact Wrestling World Champion Alex Shelley challenged Hiroshi Tanahashi to face him at the Impact x NJPW: Multiverse United 2 – For Whom The Bell Tolls event.
The event takes place on August 20th at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA and will air on FITE.TV and Impact+. Tickets are on sale now.
“Tana-san, you were a big sempai to me for years in when I was in New Japan Pro Wrestling and I looked up to you because you are the Ace. Well, guess what? I’m the joker. Come August 20, world-famous 2300 Arena, go ahead, challenge for this. I’m going to show you why now I’m the best in the world,” Shelley said.
