Kaito Kiyomiya, Titus Alexander & Archie Cole Dubbed “MAGIC Three Musketeers” at MONDAY MAGIC INSIDE OUT SEASON ep1

By: Ian McCord

MONDAY MAGIC returned on May 18th with INSIDE OUT SEASON ep1 at its homebase of Shinjuku FACE, with a new trio forming following the main event of the evening.

After a time limit draw between former GHC Heavyweight Champion Kaito Kiyomiya and Titus Alexander, Archie Cole entered the ring to check on both combatants, with MONDAY MAGIC mastermind NOSAWA Rongai not far behind.

NOSAWA got on the microphone and declared that he believes the trio of Kiyomiya, Alexander, and Cole can rival NJPW’s legendary Three Musketeers of Shinya Hashimoto, Masahiro Chono, and Keiji Muto, dubbing the young trio the “MAGIC Three Musketeers”.

From NOSAWA:

“Kiyomiya, what do you think about the ‘MAGIC Three Musketeers’? I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I want these three to form a ‘MAGIC Three Musketeers’ that can rival the ‘Fighting Spirit Three Musketeers.’ I’m kind of worn out, so maybe we should do this properly? I want the three of you to wrap things up in the end.”

Kaito Kiyomiya closed out the evening with a message for the crowd in Shinjuku FACE, stating that Archie, Titus, and himself all grew up on MONDAY MAGIC and that they are going to continue to bring the magic to Mondays.

From Kaito Kiyomiya:

“Hello everyone, this is the MAGIC Three Musketeers! How did you like today’s magic? Is this a showdown? Archie, Titus, and I all grew up with this MONDAY MAGIC, and that’s the spirit we’re bringing to the table. We’re going to show you the power of magic! The magic isn’t over yet! Everyone, let’s get enchanted again next week!”
