Following the event, the 2025 Royal Rumble winner responded to an emotional message posted by a veteran wrestler on X/Twitter, highlighting his thoughts on the situation.
Akira Tozawa’s Team Earns Tag Title Shot, Jey Uso Acknowledges His Message
In a Fatal Four-Way Tag Team Match, Akira Tozawa secured a pinfall victory over Julius Creed, ensuring that he and Otis will soon challenge The Usos for the World Tag Team Titles.
