There was a massive upset for the main event of Sunday’s Strong Style Evolved show in Manchester, England.
Zack Sabre Jr. pinned Kazuchika Okada after countering the Rainmaker clothesline. There was a huge pop from the fans in the building because virtually everyone was not expecting to see Okada, one of the top wrestlers in the world, take a pinfall loss. Scroll down to see a clip of the finish. There were cameras there and Kevin Kelly was seen calling the action so this show might end up on NJPW World.
Here are the results from the show, courtesy of The Indy Corner:
– DOMINATOR Great O-Khan defeated Danny Duggan
– Yuji Nagata defeated Shota Umino with the Nagata Lock
– Suzuki-Gun (Kanemaru, Izuka, and Desperado) defeated CHAOS (Gedo, Yano, Yoshi)

– Taichi defeated Will Ospreay after hitting a powerbomb and thanks to interference from Kanemaru hitting a low blow and a shot with the mic

– Jay White defeated Kyle Fletcher with the Blade Runner
Zack Sabre Jr defeated Kazuchika Okada
