Jeff Cobb vs. Lance Archer TV title match added to NJPW Resurgence

Lance Archer is coming for the NJPW World Television title.

The company released a video on Saturday showing the AEW star issuing a challenge to new champion Jeff Cobb for their upcoming Resurgence event on May 11 in Ontario, California. In the video, Archer congratulated Cobb but also took a shot at the United Empire, asking who the leader was. He said he’d go a little old school and go American Psycho to become the new television champion.

Cobb won the title from Zack Sabre Jr. on May 3 at Wrestling Dontaku. After the title victory, Cobb challenged anyone to challenge him for the title.
