Two of NJPW\u2019s young lions are off to start on their learning excursions.<\/p>\n
The company announced this morning that Shota Umino and Ren Narita would begin their excursions following the events of the Young Lion\u00a0Cup, where both finished tied for second place with ten points each. Umino is setting off to the UK\u00a0while Narita will train under Katsuyori Shibata at\u00a0the LA Dojo.<\/p>\n
This news comes following backstage comments \u00a0from both that took place following their matches at Destruction in Kobe. Umino said this was the first time he hated losing to someone and eventually\u00a0asked to go on an excursion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Narita meanwhile interrupted Shibata during a promo where Shibata\u00a0was talking about the LA Dojo and Karl Fredericks, who won the Young Lion\u00a0Cup. Narita\u00a0begged Shibata to let him train under his guidance. Shibata ended up accepting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shota Umino made his wrestling debut on April 13, 2017, losing to Taka Michinoku at Lion\u2019s Gate Project 4. Narita made his debut a few months later on July 4th, wrestling Umino to a time limit draw at Lion\u2019s Gate Project 7.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
