Bad Luck Fale Revealed as Newest Member of House of Torture

Sunday’s NJPW Dominion 2025 event at the Osaka-Jo Hall in Osaka, Japan featured Bad Luck Fale being revealed as the newest member of House of Torture.

During the show, Bullet Club War Dogs’ Taiji Ishimori, Chase Owens, Clark Connors & Drilla Moloney came out to the ring for their 8-Man Tag Team match against House of Torture. HoT’s SANADA, Ren Narita, & Yujiro Takahashi came out next and waited for their mystery tag partner and newest member to come out. After a brief pause, Fale’s music played and he came out to the ring revealing him turning his back on Bullet Club and joining HoT. It was announced that Fale will be going by the new ring name of “Don Fale” in HoT.

Chase Owens Turns on Bullet Club & Joins House of Torture

Sunday’s NJPW Dominion 2025 event also featured Chase Owens turning heel on Bullet Club War Dogs ans joining Don Fale as the newest members of House of Torture.

Near the end of the match, SANADA grabbed a guitar and attempted to hit Drilla Moloney only for Owens to grab the guitar away from him. Owens then handed the guitar to Moloney and held SANADA for Moloney to hit him. This led to SANADA escaping and Moloney stopping in his track before he accidentally hit Owens. This then led to Owens hitting a low blow kick to Moloney revealing that this was just a ruse and turned on Bullet Club. Owens then gave the guitar to SANADA who smashed it over Moloney’s head.

Following HoT’s victory over War Dogs, Owens celebrated with Fale and HoT and left the ring together as a group.

DOUKI Makes Surprise Return & Joins House of Torture

Sunday’s NJPW Dominion 2025 event also featured DOUKI making his surprise return from injury.

Prior to the start of the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match, House of Torture’s Yoshinobu Kanemaru came out wearing a sling on his arm. After YOH and Master Wato came out to the ring, SHO grabbed a microphone and claimed Wato had purposely injured Kanemaru during their match in the Best of the Super Juniors tournament. SHO stated that they found a replacement for Kanemaru for their match tonight, which led to DOUKI’s music playing and him making his surprise return as the newest member of HoT.

This was DOUKI’s first appearance since this past January’s Wrestle Kingdom 19 event due to a dislocated left elbow injury.
