The latest addition to the upcoming July 31st card in Reading is arguably the biggest match on the card yet and pits two of CHIKARA’s longest-running and popular factions against each other, as Fire Ant, Soldier Ant and Green Ant of The Colony will take on The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple’s UltraMantis Black, Delirious and Crossbones. This comes hot on the heels of CHIKARA’s trip to Japan, where in the main event of the June 13th show in Shin-kiba 1st Ring, Tokyo it was Fire Ant scoring a direct pin over UltraMantis with the Beach Break. These two teams have clashed numerous times in the past in their various incarnations, but considering Mantis’ appreciation for Japan and the embarassment he suffered in Tokyo this could be one of the more heated. Not only that, but the Order are on somewhat of a roll in the United States since the addition of Delirious to the group after they overcame the Saturday Night Slam Masters at “Aniversario Yang”.

This match will also mark the “official” debut on US soil for Green Ant, who was in action on the Japan shows and actually went undefeated in his 3 “CHIKARA in Japan” matches. Whether that will transfer back to the United States remains to be seen. The involvement of three of the ants also raises the question of whether the new “Carpenter Ant” will be in Reading to support his fellow hormigas.

Claudio Castagnoli has a new promo up where he addresses the recent comments expressed by Eddie Kingston.
