Breaking development ahead of tomorrow’s New Japan event: The World Tag League has seen a shakeup…New Japan just announced on their Japanese website that Chase Owens and Bad Luck Fale are now OUT of the tournament. Owens had to return to the US due to a family emergency and will be out the rest of the tournament. Owens & Fale were 2-2 with 4 points so far and still were in contention, but now must forfeit their remaining matches.
Upcoming cards will be changed. Each team that had not faced Owens & Fale in the tournament get a free win and 2 points in the standings.
UPDATE: On their official English Twitter, New Japan just announced Owens is out due to a death in his family. I join in sending my deepest condolences to Owens and his family.
