All Star Junior festival has its first singles match added to the card with the announcement of Kevin Knight for the lineup today, and that’s not all!
Announced today is the All Star Jr. USA Tournament! The four man single elimination one night tournament will see one entrant with the distinction of reigning over the All Star Junior Festival. That’s a distinction that Clark Connors wants to add to his IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag team Championship- but Kevin Knight wants that honour as well. A former junior tag champion himself, Knight has ill feelings toward a one time LA Dojo ally, stemming from Connors joining BULLET CLUB War Dogs, and then defeating the Jet on night one of Best of the Super Jr. earlier this year. Redemption would also see Knight advance to the final later in the night, but against whom?
