Juice Robinson has been suspended.
NJPW announced that Juice Robinson has been suspended for his actions at NJPW Capital Collision. Robinson was scheduled to face Fred Rosser, but he attacked Rosser before the match and continued his assault around ringside. Robinson beat down Rosser with a chair, which was sitting ringside and reversed for Robinson's wife Toni Storm, and hit him with a roll of quarter.
After laying out Rosser, Robinson told him to, "Keep my wife's name out of your fucking mouth."
Robinson will not compete at NJPW Philadelphia Collision. He was scheduled to face Lance Archer as part of the IWGP US Title Number One Contender's Tournament. Rosser will take his place.
