.@THEdavidfinlay and Juice Robinson have been tearing it up in Japan - including Finlay reaching the semi-finals of the prestigious New Japan Cup.

But @KennyOmegamanX, @MachineGunKA and @The_BigLG don't seem impressed. #IMPACTonAXSTV @TheDonCallis @njpwglobal pic.twitter.com/hPecX3QGMN

Seeing as David Finlay and Juice Robinson can’t physically be at IMPACT Wrestling shows just now due to their contractual obligations to New Japan, a short vignette of them tearing it up overseas was a much-needed addition to last night’s show.

The current World Tag Team Champions were shown as part of the recent New Japan Cup shows grappling with the likes of Tetsuya Naito and SANADA. That’s all this really was, and yet, it told a compelling story. FinJuice have taken the titles back to their home, leaving The Good Brothers fuming. It certainly helps that Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson are seemingly having minor issues with Kenny Omega and Don Callis stemming from their title loss.

It’s a major part of the plot, as they were all back on the same page literally a minute later, but it does help advance the story arc.
