Summary

A new House Rules Hardcore tag team match is now official for NJPW Death Vegas Invitacional on April 16 at Horseshoe Las Vegas.

Joey Janela and Gringo Loco will team up to face Gedo and Daisuke Sasaki as the card continues to take shape for El Desperado's event. The latest announcement adds another stipulation match to a lineup that already includes a three-way tag team deathmatch and the previously announced three-way tag team match.

Fans watching from home will also be able to catch the show through NJPW WORLD's live stream plans for the event.

What Joey Janela And Gedo Add To Death Vegas Invitacional

Janela, Gringo Loco, Gedo, and Sasaki give Death Vegas Invitacional another match that fits the show's chaotic identity, especially with hardcore rules attached and a deathmatch already on the card. That gives the April 16 lineup a clearer tone as NJPW and El Desperado lean into a wilder Las Vegas presentation for the event.

The announcement also turns an earlier lineup update into a more complete story. Janela and Gedo had already been confirmed for the show, but now both men have defined roles on the card, with Gringo Loco and Sasaki officially added as their partners and opponents.

  • Three-Way Tag Team Deathmatch: Masashi Takeda & Rina Yamashita vs. El Desperado & Jun Kasai vs. Matt Tremont & Nick Gage
