ICYMI: New Japan Pro Wrestling recap for April 10, 2015

**Hello, folks! I am looking to do more Puroresu posts on this blog. So, lets continue this with a New Japan Pro Wrestling on AXS TV episode from April 10, 2015, with the matches taking place in the Yokohama Arena on May 25, 2014!**

"Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada introduces tonight's episode, Back to Yokohama Arena, as the show emanates from the Yokohama Arena on May 25th, 2015 and pronounces the return of  World Pro Wrestling!

Special Tag Team Match: Suzukigun (Shelton "X" Benjamin and Minoru Suzuki) vs. CHAOS (Toru Yano and Takashi Iizuka)

Suzukigun (Shelton "X" Benjamin and Minoru Suzuki) beats CHAOS (Toru Yano and Takashi Iizuka) when a fallen Yano is pinned by Shelton. Before the match could even get started, the deranged Takashi Iizuka turned on Yano and CHAOS by helping Shelton Benjamin and Minoru Suzuki attack Toru Yano, and he hits the latter with his signature "iron finger from hell", and makes the jump to Suzukigun. Suzukigun members also attack Gedo and Jado, who were on commentary for the evening, and ties Toru Yano up, only to attack him some more before he carried out on a stretcher.

Backstage, Suzukigun (Minoru Suzuki, Shelton "X" Benjamin, Killer Elite Squad, Taka Michinoku, Taichi, and newest member Takashi Iizuka) mock Toru Yano and brags about what they did to him moments ago. Minoru Suzuki tells CHAOS that they better bow down to their knee in front of them and storms out.

Kazuchika Okada talks about his last encounter with Bullet Club member and current IWGP Heavyweight Champion, A.J. Styles, He says that he was looking for the other Bullet Club members to intervene, and feels that if he handles the other members, he will win his title back for sure. Although, he says that he has not appeared at the Yokohama Arena for a long time, due to fear of embarrassing New Japan's reputation. He commends A.J. for his skills, and that he is anticipating the interference despite wanting a one-on-one match. He looks to regain the IWGP Heavyweight Championship tonight against A.J..
