O-Khan cut a promo and then introduced the newest member of The United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>Henare, who had suffered a string of frustrating losses in New Japan, had tweeted that he had left Japan and was quarantining in New Zealand recently. Henare came out with a slick new look with a new ring jacket, sunglasses, and black gloves. His character appears to be influenced by the Streets of Rage videogame franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Henare pinned Sanada following a DVD, which is called Street of Rage. Henare, going under the monkier &#8220;The Ultimate Weapon,&#8221; also got a nice spotlight showing during the middle of the match when he showed off some crisp offense. He then helped hold down Naito after the match so that O-Khan could hit him with several chairshots to the knee.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3527397006\"><div id=\"pwtor-1491335278\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>At New Japan&#8217;s Sakara Genesis PPV today, Toa Henare revealed himself as the newest member of The United Empire faction.
