By: Lewis Carlan

Big Japan Pro-Wrestling returned to the famed Korakuen Hall on Oct 31st with another card as an announced crowd of 503 fans were on hand for the event.

One of the featured encounters was a tag team bout between the BJW World Strong Heavyweight Champion So Daimonji & Yuya Aoki as they faced Leyton Buzzard & Jacob Crane. This was the final match for Buzzard as he is heading back to the UK.

During the course of the match, Daimonji and Aoki seemed to be at odds with each other on a number of occasions and even exchanged a few light blows. Aoki ended the match at the 20:44 mark when a Kesagiri chop on Buzzard.

Things got extremely interesting following the match. Aoki challenged Daimonji for the BJW World Strong Heavyweight Championship which was accepted by Daimonji. Suddenly Aoki found himself under assault by Jacob Crane and a masked man who was revealed to be Minoru Fujita.

It appeared that Daimonji, Crane and Fujita have all joined forces to create a new faction within BJW.

So Daimonji defending his BJW World Strong Heavyweight Championship against Yuya Aoki is set for November 25th. If Daimonji remains champion, he will also defend the title against Kazumasa Yoshida on December 21st.

The October 31st event also showcased two BJW title matches.

Kosuke Sato successfully defended his BJW Jr Heavyweight Championship against Brahman Kei. This was the 3rd successful title defense for Sato.
