New champion. Bushi (Tetsuya, who’s been using that name mostly for the last couple months and I’ve resisted changing because his gear has the old name, but I guess I’ve got to give in when he wins a belt) is the 2nd IWRG lightweight champion. This was Bushi’s second shot – he lost to Freelance on Christmas Day in the first ever defense of this title (which has gotten a bigger push with other belts being out of play.) Bushi joins KAI and YAMATO as recent AJPW trainees who’ve found success in IWRG.

Fuerza holds onto the title in his first defense, but has a rematch this week.

AAA’s added Scoria to the Rey de Reyes list. This is his first time in the Rey de Reyes; none of the current Sect membership has ever been in the tournament until now.

Last year, Scoria was in the Alas de Oro (lost) and was in the Pena gauntlet match (lost.) Aerostar was the only one to be in all three annual tournaments (though he at least one of them.)

I’m keeping track of the full Rey de Reyes list over on the show info page, but you can also just check AAA’s partipant list page; they seem to just be editing text rather than putting up a new article for each one.
